Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

Add garlic to food processor and process until chopped.
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.
Slowly add in reserved liquid and process until hummus reaches your desired consistency. (I used a full 1/2 cup.)

Notes

If you don’t love spice, cut the cayenne pepper amount to 1/2 teaspoon.
