Mix and chill dip
Once the sweet potato is cooked, scoop out the flesh into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in the tahini and garlic, then season with salt, cumin, chipotle, and a pinch of cayenne. Drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and some lemon juice, then mash everything together until it’s as smooth as you like. If the dip feels too thick, add a little water, a tablespoon at a time, and mix until it’s just right. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours to let the flavors meld. Before serving, give it a taste and tweak the seasoning if needed. Spoon it into a serving dish, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper, and some fresh parsley on top.
