Creamy hummus with rich roasted sweet potatoes, mild roasted garlic and a delicious medley of spices. Great for an appetizer with vegetables or crackers and perfect for game days or get-togethers.
Slice the top off of a bunch of garlic. Drizzle with oil and then wrap in tin foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
Cube the sweet potato. I don't bother peeling it. Drizzle with oil and salt and pepper. Slice into the oven with the garlic and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Let both cool.
When sweet potatoes and garlic have cooled, empty a tin of chickpeas into a food processor. Add the potato and three cloves of the garlic. Add the spices, tahini and oil and blend until smooth, adding water as you go until you reach your preferred consistency.
