Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • 1 sweet potato cubed and roasted (400°F, 20 min)
  • drizzle of oil for roasting
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic or 2 regular
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4-6 tablespoons cold water or ice as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Slice the top off the garlic, drizzle with oil, wrap in foil, and place on a sheet pan in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • Toss the sweet potato with oil, salt, and pepper and add to the same baking sheet as the garlic.
  • Roast both for 20–25 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender. Let cool slightly.
  • Add chickpeas to a food processor and blend briefly.
  • Add roasted sweet potato, garlic, tahini, olive oil, and spices.
  • Blend until smooth, adding very cold water or ice (my preference) as needed to reach your desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve or chill.
