Instructions

Step 1

Scoop the sweet potato flesh into a bowl and let it cool down to room temperature. Once it's cool, add the tahini and garlic, then season with salt, cumin, chipotle, and a pinch of cayenne. Drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mash everything together until it’s as smooth as you like. If the mixture feels too thick, stir in a little water, a tablespoon at a time, until it loosens up. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours to let the flavors meld. Before serving, give it a taste and tweak the seasoning if needed. Spoon it into a serving dish and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper, and some fresh parsley on top.
