Macadamia Nut Hummus
A savory twist on the usual hummus, this Macadamia Nut Hummus was inspired by one we enjoyed while vacationing on The Big Island of Hawaii. Super easy to make and delish!

The Sweet Potato Chips as show here are a recipe from Minimalist Baker
A second way to make Sweet Potato Chips:
- 2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes cleaned, dried well and cut into ¼ inch thick slices (the key is to be as uniform as possible)
- Avocado Oil or neutral oil like grapeseed or canola
- Kosher salt
Instructions
Macadamia Nut Hummus
- Place macadamia nuts in food processor and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides periodically to make sure all the nuts are processed. (The nuts will break down, release its oils and go from grainy to paste-like)
- Add all the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, streaming the olive oil as blending.
- Taste and adjust seasoning needed.
- Serve with veggies, sweet potato chips or crackers.
- Hummus will thicken in the refrigerator so bring to room temperature before serving.
Sweet Potato Chips
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place parchment paper on 2 -3 baking sheets
- Place sliced sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them so that they don't touch.
- Lightly brush sides both sides of the sweet potatoes with oil
- Sprinkle sweet potatoes with salt.
- Bake sweet potatoes for 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Gently turn chips over. Bake an additional 10-12 minutes until just turning crisp. The chips will be crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in center. If you save some for the next few days, the chips will be more chewy than crispy but still really yummy!
