Ingredients
- 3 cups diced sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 ounce can of chickpeas
- ½ cup Tahini
- 2 tablespons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ cup cold water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, and roast until they are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas to a small pot and cover them with water. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Drain the chickpeas, and then put them into your food processor. Add the roasted sweet potatoes, remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and garlic and blend until mostly smooth.
- Scrape the sides of the food processor and then, with the machine running, slowly pour in the cold water, using only enough to make the hummus super creamy.
- Serve in a bowl with extra olive oil drizzled over top and veggies and pita on the side for dipping.
