Savory Sweet Potato Hummus

🙂

Sooooooooo since it's almost September (which means it's even closer to the best month ever, October! Eeek!) that means I can get away with posting a fall-esque recipe.

Sweet potatoes + hummus= Summer is fading into Fall

As you know from my

Sweet potatoes have always been one of my favorite foods, but they have always been served to me in the same old boring (yet scrumptious) ways...sweet potato casserole with chopped pecans, sweet potato pie, and sweet potato casserole with toasted marshmallows.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

As you saw with my

I was even more flabbergasted by how good this junk is.

Sweet yet savory while smoky and unique, this hummus has become my absolute go to healthy snack and it is such a cinch to make!

Make it even easier by popping the potato in your microzapper instead of roasting it in the oven.

Trust me, once you try this and then realize it has only 51 calories and 0 grams of fat per serving, you will continually go back for more...and more...and more!

Note: Here is the recipe for my Benne-hini.

Getting to know you...
