  • 4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1.5 Teaspoons Kosher Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375F. Using a fork, make several holes in both sweet potatoes.
  • Wrap up the cloves of garlic (with skin on) in some foil with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Place both the garlic and sweet potatoes on baking sheet and roast for about 40-45 minutes or until sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Cook time will vary based on the size of your sweet potatoes.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, then gently peel skin off. Add to a bowl and mash with a fork. You should have about 1 heaping cup of mashed sweet potato.
  • Remove the skin from the garlic and mash gently in with the sweet potato.
  • Add the sweet potato and roasted garlic, white beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and water to the blender. Blend well until smooth.

  • Serve with pita chips and your favorite veggies for dipping.
