Cooking Steps

Prepare all ingredients by peeling and dicing the sweet potatoes into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes. Mince the garlic and measure out the olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Preheat your oven to 200 °C (400 °F) and position the oven rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the diced sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss the sweet potatoes until evenly coated.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned (golden in color). A fork should easily pierce through the cubes.
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5–10 minutes for easier handling.
In a food processor, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, minced garlic, 1/2 cup (125 g) Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
Process the mixture on high speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed to guarantee an even blend.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as desired with additional salt, black pepper, or lemon juice. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can blend in a splash of water or extra Greek yogurt.
Transfer the sweet potato dip to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Optional: Before serving, garnish with chopped fresh herbs, if desired, and serve with an assortment of vegetables or whole-grain crackers.
