Tri-Spiced Yam Fries & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus by Flora & Vino

In high school, I attended our school football games solely for the food.

OK, for my friends, too.

There was track at my high school that ran around the football field, and my friends and I walked it in lingering laps, gossiping and scanning the stands, really hoping we might see that cute boy from 5th period.

We passed the marching band, the cheerleaders, and the stands, over and over, never actually watching the game.

(Who watches football at a football game?)

We always waited in the long lines of the concession stand to get a piece of pizza or fries and a styrofoam cup of the best hot chocolate.

The “best hot chocolate” was most likely something brought back to life by boiling water like Swiss Miss or Nestle, but, to 15 year old me, that hot chocolate was LIFE.

It was the perfect accessory to tote around the field, it warmed your hands, and it tasted good.

Best hot chocolate ever.

Although I like to think my taste in hot chocolate and pizza has since improved, my ability to watch football really hasn’t, and I can’t blame it on chatty friends now.

To be social, I’ll sit down and watch a game for a bit, but I find it difficult to get invested that little oblong stitched ball flying back and forth across the field, and even more so in the bulky men passing it around.

Dan always snorts if I erupt in a delayed cheer or boo only after everyone else is already doing it, or worse, if I do it for the wrong team.

Yeah, that’s happened.

So, mostly I sit and observe, chatting with anyone else who isn’t yelling obscenities and encouragement at the screen.

This year, I thought I’d up my “game game” by making something delicious to snack on.

If you haven’t tried yam fries with hummus yet, today is the day!

Think sweet potatoes and chickpeas.

It’s a duo that was meant to be.

This entire snack is oil-free and packed with nutritious whole foods comfort.

A lot different from the greasy stuff I cherished during high school games, and it all comes together in 30 minutes!

Get your game face on.

I love baking sweet potato and yam fries oil free, because they soften and brown nicely without any added oil.

Add this zesty three spice blend and a scattering of fresh herbs and you have a wonderfully flavored complex carb treat.

It’s really too easy eat these by the handful straight from the tray.

I was a little apprehensive sharing a recipe for hummus, because I think hummus love is an extremely personal thing, you know?

For example, I like mine mine extra lemony, but not too garlicky, with lots of spice.

I’m sure you like yours a special way, too, with a particular spice mixture and flavoring.

I’m still perfecting my own blend.

These are two of my staple recipes that I tied in a neat little bow for you to make your super bowling snacking effortless!

Of course, they’re also delicious enjoyed separately.

Enjoy these fries as a snack for dipping in hummus, or alongside a hearty dinner.

The same goes for the hummus!

You know the drill, spread it on everything.

If you can’t find Japanese yams, regular yams or sweet potatoes will also work well in this recipe, but the cook time may be slightly shorter.

I like the roasted red pepper hummus paired with these fries because it adds a little extra depth of flavor, but if you don’t have roasted red peppers you can omit!

Description

Oil-free yam fries perfectly seasoned and served with oil-free roasted red pepper hummus. Ready in 30 minutes for an easy snack or healthy side!


Ingredients

Tri-Spiced Yam Fries

  • 2–3 Japanese yams, scrubbed and cut into 1″ “fries” (removing skins isn’t necessary, but you can if you like)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Oil-Free Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

  • 1 15-oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 roasted red pepper, from a jar or homemade
  • 1/4 cup raw tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup filtered water
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder, or 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper
  • pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • optional for serving: fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange yam “fries” on the sheet, careful not to overlap, and sprinkle with smoked paprika, curry powder, and cinnamon.
  3. Bake for ~30 minutes, shaking every 10 minutes ensure even browning. You’ll know they’re done when they’re fork tender and slightly browned. If you want crispier well-done fries, bake another 10-20 minutes more.
  4. While the yam fries are baking, prepare your hummus by combining all ingredients in a high speed blender. Pulse until well combined and then blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to push down the sides with a spoon to recombine. Taste the recipe as you go, adding more lemon juice for brightness, paprika and cumin for spice, and cayenne pepper for heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add water to thin out to reach desired consistency.
  5. To serve, plate the tri-spiced yam fries and dip in hummus. Store leftover yam fries and hummus in the fridge for 3-5 days.

#ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this #ad// {NEW!} When everything else feels hard, this Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup feels easy. 🥕🍠🥣 It also tastes amazing and every warm spoonful is like a comforting embrace. This Thai Carrot Sweet Potato Soup is made on the stovetop with root vegetables and yellow curry paste blended with a spoonful of nut butter. I used a standing blender but you can also use an immersion blender to achieve the creamiest consistency.

I love topping my soup with cilantro, @edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds, and @edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil. 

@edenfoods Tamari Roasted Almonds are infrared roasted organic almonds with complimentary organic tamari soy sauce. They’re a delicious snack packed with protein and fiber. You can enjoy them on their own, added to trail mix, on salads and bowls, or…on soup! 
 
@edenfoods Hot Pepper Sesame Oil is a delicious unrefined expeller pressed toasted sesame oil that is infused with hot red chili peppers. Friends, this stuff is HOT! Just a *drop* adds a big kick to your dressings, marinades, stir-fries, etc. If you have a wild side, add a drop or two to your soup bowl for a little extra heat! 

Feel free to add your favorites, like roasted chickpeas, green onion, and sesame seeds.
