Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Small Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 14 ounce Can of White Beans Cannellini or Great Northern Beans; Rinsed
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 4 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1.5 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 Teaspoons Black Pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Using a fork, make several holes in both sweet potatoes.
  2. Wrap up the cloves of garlic (with skin on) in some foil with a drizzle of olive oil.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the skin from the garlic and mash gently in with the sweet potato.
  6. Add the sweet potato and roasted garlic, white beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and water to the blender. Blend well until smooth.
  7. Can chill in the fridge until ready to serve. Add to a serving bowl and top with drizzle of olive oil and a little smoked paprika.
  8. Serve with pita chips and your favorite veggies for dipping.
