ADZUKI BEAN AND KALE HUMMUS WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS [VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE SWEET POTATO CHIPS:

• 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced 1/8-inch thick lengthwise
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons mild paprika

FOR THE HUMMUS:

• 1/2 cup adzuki beans, cooked
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Fresh pepper, to taste
• 4 tablespoons tahini paste
• 2 large kale leaves, about 2 cups
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/5 cup water

FOR THE TOPPING:

• Crispy garlic adzuki beans
• Olive oil
• 1 garlic clove
• Sea salt flakes, to taste

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE SWEET POTATO CHIPS:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil, paprika, and a few pinches of sea salt and pepper until all potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer and bake for 15 minutes, then flip over and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
4. Remove from baking sheet and transfer to a new baking sheet or large platter. Let potatoes cool in a single layer. It’s important that the potatoes cool in a single layer and not placed on top of one another – this will prevent them from getting soggy and help to maintain the crispiness.

TO MAKE THE HUMMUS:

1. In a blender or food processor, add the adzuki beans, kale, garlic, tahini, sea salt, and some pepper to taste. Be sure to reserve a handful of adzuki beans for serving. Blend for 1 minute.
2. Add the water, lemon juice and blend on high speed for 2 minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
3. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with roasted adzuki beans, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt.

TO MAKE THE TOPPING:

1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a frying pan. Add 1 chopped garlic clove and the remaining unused adzuki beans. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
