Makes about 2 cups / Sweet potato adds a creamy richness and a dose of healthy antioxidants to this unusual hummus. Serve with broccoli florets, baby carrots, and pepper strips for dipping; or spread on a whole-grain tortilla, top with broccoli sprouts, and roll up for a healthy wrap.
Directions
- Wrap sweet potato in foil and bake at 400° for about 1 hour, or until soft.
- Remove potato from oven, unwrap, and let cool. Scoop out insides of sweet potato and place in a food processor. Add garbanzos, olive oil, olives, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Purée until smooth. Add 1/3 cup basil leaves and pulse for 10 seconds. Season with salt and pepper, and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with sun-dried tomatoes and whole basil leaves.
