Roasted Sweet Potato Dip with Cashews and Coriander
Another quick and easy recipe from the AYDIE kitchen! This was a bit of an experiment so I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out. Fortunately, it turned out to be a delicious and healthy (right?) dip. It’s so easy to make and you can play around with the quantities depending on how many people you’re feeding. All you need to do is take a couple of sweet potatoes, peel them and then cut them into small cubes. Place them on a baking tray (on top of baking paper), and drizzle over a decent amount of olive oil and about a tablespoon of honey – give or take.
Also sprinkle over some salt and cracked black pepper and, if you want, some herbs and spices for extra flavour. I added ground fennel seeds and cumin. Roast your sweet potatoes in the oven at a moderate temperature (180 degrees Celsius is good) until the potatoes are soft. Then, take about ¼ of a cup of cashews, a handful of coriander (stalks included is fine), and whack the whole lot in a blender. Blend until combined and smooth (or chunky if that’s your preference), adding extra olive oil if need be. Then, serve with crackers or anything else you fancy. Too easy!
P.S. This dip could double as a sweet potato mash. Just serve it warm and omit the cashews. Would I make it again? Is now too soon?

My mouth is watering at how good that dip looks.
It’s amazing. I highly recommend that you make it =D
totally loving the sound of this – i love sweet potato anything!
Me too!!
Love roasted sweet potatoes. I usually cook them until they caramelise but this is a much faster version – and dippable too!
Yummm! One of the best veggies ever in my opinion!
Looks delicious! I like the combination of sweet potatoes with cashews 😀 Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Match made in heaven!
Looks great. I can never decide whether to serve these dips warm, room temp or cold. Did you serve room temp? Perhaps it is a silly question as they usually end up room temp anyway 🙂
I’ve been MIA as well. Good thing I’m not required to keep up a posting schedule:-)
I think I served it room temp… But I think it’d be delicious no matter how hot or cold you serve it!
Haha and yeah, I hear you!!
