Roasted Sweet Potato Dip Recipes

ROASTED RAINBOW SWEET POTATOES WITH DIPPING SAUCE 2 WAYS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line two 15x10x1-inch baking pans with aluminum foil.
• Combine sweet potato wedges, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a very large bowl. Toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking pans.
• Roast in the preheated oven, rotating the pans halfway through, until potatoes are tender and starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, pepper, and salt in a small bowl to make the first dipping sauce.
• Whisk mayonnaise, milk, horseradish, dill, and pepper in a separate small bowl to make the second dipping sauce.
• Serve sweet potatoes warm or at room temperature with the two sauces for dipping.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Place the potato on the baking sheet, and using a fork, repeatedly pierce the top of the sweet potato to keep it from exploding in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potato is fork-tender and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Cut sweet potato in half once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh, and place in a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes. Blend until well combined and smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Spoon dip into a bowl, garnish with chopped pistachios, and serve.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHARRED ONION RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes multiple times with a paring knife or a fork. Place the potatoes along the outer edges of the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 1 hour. (If the potatoes are ready before you are ready to serve them, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and they will stay hot for up to 1 hour.)
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Cook the scallions over direct heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely slice and add to a bowl. Mix in the sour cream, parsley, Ranch Rub and celery seeds. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve: Split the sweet potatoes down the middle with a knife and spoon some of the ranch sour cream over, letting it melt down into the potato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.
