- Dried parsley (1⁄4 tsp)
- Turmeric (1⁄4 tsp)
- Paprika
- 4 Sweet potatoes
- 2 Garlic cloves
- Dried basil (1⁄4 tsp)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Thoroughly scrub the sweet potatoes with water, then dry. Use a fork to poke a few sets of holes into each sweet potato, then wrap each of them with a double layer of aluminum foil. Add the wrapped sweet potatoes onto a baking pan and bake for 45 minutes.
- Mince the cloves of garlic.
- When the sweet potatoes are done cooking (the center will be soft), add them to a blender or food processor and run on high until very creamy.
- Then add the minced garlic, 1⁄2 TBS of olive oil, dried basil, dried parsley, turmeric, a dash of paprika, and a dash of salt. Blend on low until the flavors combine.
- Enjoy with any additional toppings or sides of your choice.
