So we had some leftover baked sweet potatoes from one of our dinners and I didn’t want to see them go to waste so I had a look online and saw a recipe for a sweet potato dip. It was a really good idea, I spiced it up a bit and enjoyed it very much. It is smooth and silky with a lovely warmth to finish. It was so easy and quick to make as everything is chucked in the food processor and whizzed. I definitely won’t be chucking away left over sweet potatoes again.

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 1 left over baked sweet potato (or bake in 200 degrees oven for 1 hour)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 3 tbsp tahini paste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• juice of 1 lemon
• chilli oil (recipe here)

Directions

1. To make the dip add all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Place the mixture into a serving bowl and make a groove using you finger on the top of the dip. Fill with some chilli oil. Enjoy.
