Sweet Potato Hummus

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 large, sweet potato (about 1 ½ lbs.)
• 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 ½ tablespoons tahini
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Peel and chop the sweet potato into chunks. Toss the sweet potato chunks, smashed garlic cloves, and avocado oil in a large bowl until evenly coated.
3. Spread the sweet potato and garlic mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
4. Transfer the roasted sweet potato and garlic to a food processor or blender once cooled. Add the cooked chickpeas, tahini, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
5. Begin blending the ingredients while gradually adding water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired hummus consistency.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.
7. Serve the sweet potato hummus with your favorite accompaniments, such as fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.
