Dip and scoop kinda meals are always fun and now that fall is here, you bet you’ll find me sneaking sweet potatoes into everything. I already do that year-round, but still. I was so excited for this that I drew a picture last night. Let’s just say I got so carried away with roasting every veggie possible, I wasn’t able to fit everything in. I wanted to add some boiled eggs and pita chips on there, but as you can see, this is loaded enough as is!

What’s on the Plate

Sweet potato hummus, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, crunchy chickpeas, and figs. This meal can be ready in 30 minutes, no joke–and that is including the hummus. You just need to be a little strategic, so I’ll walk you through my snack plate process.

The Rundown

1. Draw a picture. Haha I’m kidding about this one––sort of. I thought it was fun to draw it out and visualize what I wanted on it! That way it was super easy to get things going when I stepped into the kitchen.

2. For the hummus, have your sweet potato roasted beforehand and cook your chickpeas if you’re using dried chickpeas like I did. I popped my sweet potato in the oven when I made baked oats in the morning. You can do it any day you meal prep or an hour or so before you eat.

3. Prep your veggies (and some leftover chickpeas) and put them on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and any other spices you’d like. I used my air fryer for the sweet potato chips because they wouldn’t fit in my oven.

4. Blend your hummus while your veggies roast. I love adding some aquafaba, the water left in a can of chickpeas or after cooking your chickpeas, in my hummus for the best texture. It’s highly unlikely that you don’t have any on hand because you’re literally using chickpeas for this, but if you don’t, you can use cold water instead.
