Servings: About 16 bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
1 or 2 sweet potatoes (choose slim ones to make about 16,  1-inch rounds)
2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice powder
A pinch of black pepper
A pinch of salt
4 sprigs of fresh sage
1/2 cup hummus (Learn how to make hummus here: YouTube Link)
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/3 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the sweet potato into 1-inch rounds. Toss the slices in a bowl with Chinese five-spice powder, a pinch of salt, pepper, and some of the sage leaves.
3. Arrange the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and tender. Let them cool to room temperature.
4. While the sweet potatoes are cooling, prepare the hummus by following this easy recipe: YouTube Link.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, place them on a serving plate. Top each round with about 1/2 tablespoon of hummus, a small dollop of Greek yogurt, and a piece of fresh sage.
6. Drizzle a tiny bit of dark sesame oil over the top for an extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• Flavor Variations: Experiment with different spices like cinnamon or smoked paprika for a unique twist on the flavor profile.
• Serving Suggestions: These bites are great as part of a larger mezze platter with pita wedges, bite-sized vegetables, and toasted bagels. You can also serve them as a colorful appetizer at your next gathering.
