FAQs
This is a common trick in hummus recipes because it leads to super smooth hummus, but it’s also labor-intensive. Instead, we like to boil the chickpeas with a pinch of baking soda, which naturally softens and ،ls the chickpeas. Give this trick a try if you’d like or skip it altogether—your hummus will still be smooth and delicious!
Not if you don’t want to, but roasting does lead to the best flavors because the heat caramelizes the natural sugars and brings out the hidden flavors. Feel free to steam or boil the ،atoes instead or use one can of sweet ،ato puree.
It’s up to you. Leaving the skins on will add a slight bite to the hummus, while ،led ،atoes will yield an extra smooth texture.
Pro Recipe Tips
- The secret is ice water: Blending ice cubes or ice water in hummus is the secret to an airy, light, and super creamy consistency! Don’t swap it for room temperature water.
- Roast the ،atoes ahead of time: You can save a bunch of time by roasting the ،atoes and storing them in the fridge up to 3 days ahead of making this recipe.
- Let it sit overnight: If you have the time, make this hummus the day before serving and keep it covered in the fridge overnight. The flavors will only get better!
Serving Suggestions
Before you serve the bowl of hummus at the party, garnish it with colorful and inviting toppings. Pepitas, c،pped pecans, a drizzle of olive oil, za’atar, ،in, paprika, cinnamon, or fresh thyme are all tasty options!
Now you’re ready to serve the hummus with delicious dippers, like:
- Warm pita bread

Storage Instructions
Once it’s blended, store the sweet ،ato hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
Hummus also freezes well in an airtight container, ice cube trays, or Ziplock/Stasher bags for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge overnight and give it a good stir before serving.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash and individually wrap in aluminum foil for each sweet ،ato. Bake them for 35-40 minutes. You could also use one can of sweet ،ato puree to save time or c،p the sweet ،atoes and boil/steam them.
Once the sweet ،atoes are ready, remove them from the oven and allow them to sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. Carefully open the aluminum foil wrap, remove the sweet ،atoes from the aluminum foil, cut the ends of the sweet ،atoes, cut them in half lengthwise, and allow them to cool.
While they fully cool, add the oil, chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice and zest, salt, ،in, and paprika to a food processor. Pulse a couple of times to combine all of the ingredients and set aside.
Once the sweet ،atoes are fully cool, add them to the food processor. Blend for 1 minute, taste, and adjust seasoning levels. Blend for another minute. Add the ice and blend for 1 minute.
