Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small chunks.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato chunks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed garlic, Cajun seasoning, paprika, maple syrup, lemon juice, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Blend the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with finely chopped green onions (if desired).

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature with an assortment of crackers, pita chips, or fresh vegetables.
