What You Need
  • ½ Roasted Sweet Potato, peeled
  • 1 Can of Chickpeas, drained with liquid reserved
  • ½ Cup Tahini (Does your grocery store get confused about where this goes, too? Sometimes it's in the international section, sometimes its with the mayo or the olive oil. I basically search until i find it.)
  • Juice of 1 to 1½ Lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
What to Do
  1. Roast the Sweet Potato and peel it. Roasting releases the sweetness. You can also boil the potato or bake it. Don't use more than ½ of the potato or you'll have a REALLY sweet hummus. Maybe too sweet.
  2. Mix the chickpeas, sweet potatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings in a food processor.
  3. If too thick, add in the reserved chickpea liquid two or three tablespoons at a time to make it smoother and thinner.
  4. Serve with salty pretzels or potato chips (the sweetness of the potato is beautifully countered by the saltiness and really brings out the flavor!)
