Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop your sweet potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks, about 1 inch thick. Toss them with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. In a food processor, combine the roasted sweet potato chunks with drained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and paprika. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, adding olive oil or water if it’s too thick.
  3. Taste your hummus and adjust its flavor with fresh lemon juice, more garlic, and a pinch of salt as needed. Blend again.
  4. Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with whole chickpeas, smoked paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Pair your hummus with pita bread, veggies, or gluten-free crackers for dipping.
