Can you believe that Christmas is already here?! I don’t know about y’all, but when we get caught up in all of the Holiday meal prep, we often forget to eat ourselves. It’s easiest to have a few snacks out that we can munch on all day, since the kitchen is a bit too crazy to prepare a full meal. This healthy bean dip is perfect for having out while you prepare your Christmas meals. It’s also a great dip for an appetizer or for any upcoming NYE parties! You can pair it with your favorite chips – we like plain pita chips.

The longest part of the preparation is roasting the sweet potatoes. If you are short on time, you can cut the sweet potatoes in half before roasting, or microwave for a few minutes before roasting. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, the recipe comes together in minutes.

The smoked paprika is the key ingredient in the dip. It’s one of our favorite pantry staples that we use in a ton of recipes. It adds a subtle bit of smokiness and spice that makes the bean dip unique.

Everything is thrown into the blender (we love our Vitamix), and blended well until smooth. You can also use a food processor. I recommend to chill the dip prior to serving, but it can be served warm as well. If you need other appetizer or party ideas, highly recommend our beef empanadas or rustic tomato tart! Happy holidays to everyone!
