Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 can chickpeas, drained
• ½ cup liquid from chickpea can, at most
• 4 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 1½ Tablespoons tahini
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium sweet potato, roasted
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper*

Instructions

1. Add garlic to food processor and process until chopped.
2. Add chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, salt, olive oil, roasted sweet potato, and spices. Process for 1-2 minutes – the mixture will be pretty thick and not completely smooth.
3. Slowly add in reserved liquid and process until hummus reaches your desired consistency. (I used a full ½ cup.)

Notes

I cut the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon and it had plenty of spice.
