sweet potato and chickpea puree

Serves: 8 Edit

Oven Temp: 425

Ingredients

  • 1 medium (14-ounce) sweet potato (see Tip), scrubbed
  • 1 can(s) (15-ounce) chickpeas, drained
  • 1 clove(s) (small) garlic
  • 1 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1/2 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Hot sauce or chili sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prick sweet potato several times with a fork. Set in an oven-safe skillet, and roast until flesh is fork tender, about 45 minutes (juices should be bubbling up from fork holes). Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  2. Rinse chickpeas; place with garlic and salt in a food processor. Scoop out sweet potato flesh (about 1 cup), and add to processor. While motor is running, slowly add olive oil to form a smooth puree.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and drizzle with extra olive oil and hot sauce (about 1 tablespoon each). Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, and when ready to serve again, bring puree to room temperature and thin with extra olive oil.
