Roasted sweet potatoes add a slightly sweet, toasty flavor to this otherwise traditional hummus recipe. A gluten-free, vegan snack that's great on sandwiches or served with pita bread or crudités.

Instructions
- Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and kosher salt/pepper to taste. Roast on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven and allow sweet potatoes to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Add cooled sweet potatoes, drained chickpeas (15 oz. can), remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 smashed garlic cloves, lemon zest and juice (from 1 lemon), tahini (3 tablespoons), salt/pepper (to taste), cumin (1/2 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (1/8 teaspoon) to food processor (or blender). Blend together until completely pulverized- about 2 minutes.
- While food processor is running, add reserved chickpea liquid 1/4 cup at a time, until hummus has reached desired consistency. Keep in mind, it will thicken as it cools- the food processor heats the ingredients up a bit.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Garnish with extra olive oil, sesame seeds, crushed red pepper, and/or minced fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve spread on sandwiches, with pita bread or crudités, or as a substitute for mayo in chicken or tuna salad.

Notes
- Tahini substitute: You can use peanut butter or almond butter instead of tahini, which is a similar paste made from sesame seeds instead of nuts.
- Use leftover roasted sweet potatoes to save time!
