Who doesn't love hummus?
Well, me, as a kid. I hated it. I could not believe all the adults were making such a big deal over something that tasted like garlic and lemon! I think I was envisioning something more along the lines of S'mores at the time. ...if you aren't imagining a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate and a melted marshmallow, hummus is quite lovely.

Sweet Potato Hummus

ingredients
1 medium cooked sweet potato
3 tablespoons olive oil.
2 cans cooked chickpeas rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons tahini.
3 cloves garlic, peeled.
juice of 1 lemon.
ground sea salt, to taste

Toss in a food processor and process until smooth.Serve with whatever your favorite dipping scooping food items are. I like fresh cucumber slices, corn chips, carrots, celery and tomatoes.

 

These Gluten free sweet potato burgers are even better with pepper jack cheese and fresh tomato!

I made these last week but was in a hurry so I didn’t take any photos. They were so good I made them again!

 

 

This is really quick to put together as a lot of the ingredients can be prepped in advance.

In a bowl add cooked sweet potatoes

 

 

and mash them up.

 

 

Then toss in the grated raw sweet potatoes,

 

 

chopped parsley,

 

 

oats,

 

 

corn,

 

 

roasted red bell peppers,

 

 

dates,

 

 

cilantro,

 

 

salt,

 

 

red pepper,

 

 

and cumin. Mix all together and shape into burger patties.

 

 

place on a greased baking sheet and bake at 350 for 40 minutes or so. Part way through turn over when medium brown.

 

 

Serve with all your favorite condiments.

 

 

I am liking these gluten free rolls made by LivWell made with tapioca starch, rice flour and potato starch. They taste pretty good too. 

 

 

A couples slices of pepper jack cheese and a slice of tomato will be just about right.

 

 

Wait, a little ketchup too! 

 

 

Now we’ve got a sandwich!

I  just tried making this Gluten free sweet potato hummus from a recipe in a Taste of Home magazine.  Only 7 ingredients and very quick to make. It was great! I’ll be making this again for sure.

 

 

I just sliced up some cooked sweet potatoes I was too lazy to mash them first.

 

Sliced a couple cloves of garlic.

 

 

Place Into a mini food processor, but you should use a full sized one if you have it

 

 

A portion of the sweet potatoes. I started feeling sorry for the mini food processor so I chopped the sweet potatoes up smaller.

 

 

Some cumin.

 

 

A pinch of Salt

 

 

Lemon juice.

 

 

Then I processed everything just to see if the mini could handle it. It was no problem at all.

 

 

So I added the cayenne,

 

 

and tahini.

 

 

And processed it all in batches until I had all of the sweet potatoes blended up nicely.

 

 

Then taste it, it’s part of the job.

 

 

Serve right away or make ahead.

The best messy gluten free sandwich with ingredients I’ve never tried together before!

I was food gawking and saw alimentageuse.com’s recipe for Sweet potato  Pesto Grilled Cheese and had to try it.

 

 

I started by making the pesto. Got out some chopped walnuts,

 

 

lemon juice, parmesan, olive oil,

 

 

and kale with stems removed.

 

 

Into the blender I tossed the kale,

 

 

and walnuts.

 

 

I got it so it was fairly chopped.

 

 

Added salt and parmesan

 

 

Then added lemon juice and olive oil. Done.

 

 

Now it’s sandwich time!

 

 

I put a little butter on the outsides of the bread.

 

 

Turned it over and added some kale pesto to one slice of bread

 

 

And cooked sweet potato slices to the other.

 

 

Topped each slice with pepper jack cheese

 

 

put them to melt in the pan from the Catholic church fall bazaar sale that was only 5.00.

 

 

Warm oozy melty good.

 

 

But not exactly neat and mess free eating.

 

 

Best eaten with a fork.
