Cooked sweet potato lends a little creaminess and sweetness to this hummus-like dip. The lime juice lends a fresh tang, and there’s just enough chili powder and cinnamon to give it flavor without too much kiddo-offending spice!

Chef's Notes
Advance Prep Prebake your spuds! Keep them whole and unpeeled, just give them a quick wash. Then, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425/450 for 40–60 minutes (baking time varies based on the size of the spuds). Bake more than you need at a time, keep extras refrigerated for 4–5 days to use in other dishes — like salads, soups, pasta sauces, and more.
Spices Use a good quality chili powder that isn’t too hot. If you aren’t sure of the heat intensity, start with a lesser amount (or even less!), and then add more if desired. My kids like this with ½ tsp of chili powder, but you may want to add more. You can also substitute a chipotle powder or chipotle hot sauce, to taste.
