Ingredients You Need for Low-Fat Sweet Potato Hummus [Vegan]

  • 1 1/4 cups mashed yam/sweet potato (1 lb/454g yam/sweet potato; I used 2 small)

  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Herbamare or salt (or to taste)

  1. I make hummus… I make some more hummus… And then I make some more hummus… None of it has added oil, nor does it have sweet po-freakin’-tatoes. IJS.
