Snack Today: Sweet Potato Dip
Paula Gallagher on
Served with naan bread or raw veggies, this easy sweet potato dip makes a really great snack or a great item to bring to a potluck.
The star of this recipe, the sweet potato, is a nutrition powerhouse. Just one medium cooked sweet potato contains 4 grams of fiber, 32 percent of our daily vitamin C, and an amazing 475 percent of our daily vitamin A! Vitamin A helps our bodies maintain healthy teeth, soft tissue, and skeletal tissue, and is important for healthy vision and healthy skin. Sweet potatoes are also a good source of vitamin E, vitamin B6, potassium, manganese and magnesium.
So dig in!
Sweet Potato Dip
• 1 large sweet potato
• 1 tsp paprika
• Juice and zest of 2 limes
• Sea salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup English cucumber, diced
Preheat oven to 400 F and bake the sweet potato on a baking sheet until you can easily pierce it with a knife. (May take up 90 minutes.)
Let the sweet potato cool enough to handle, then slice open and scoop flesh into a food processor or blender. Add paprika, lime juice, and zest. Purée mixture until well blended.
Put the dip in bowl and mix in cucumber. Enjoy!
