For the beet hummus
  • 1 medium roasted beet, peeled and chopped
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 15 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for drizzling)

Method
 

Preparation of Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke holes in each sweet potato with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  2. Rub the sweet potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes until fork-tender.
Preparation of Beet Hummus
  1. In a food processor, blend together the roasted beet, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding water as needed.
Toasting Walnuts
  1. Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Assembly
  1. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice each sweet potato lengthwise and gently mash the insides.
  2. Fill each sweet potato with the beet hummus.
  3. Top with crumbled goat cheese and toasted walnuts. Optional: drizzle with honey.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

Choose firm sweet potatoes for best results. Add more olive oil for creamier hummus and experiment with spices for added flavor.
