ingredients
Maple & Sweet Potato Hummus
1 cup
roasted sweet potato
2 cups
chickpeas, canned, drained, and rinsed
1 tbsp

directions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Lightly grease a medium sweet potato with 1/4 tsp of oil and poke all over with a fork. Bake for about 45-60 minutes depending on the size of your sweet potato. You will know it’s cooked when you can easily pierce it with a fork.
Remove the sweet potato from the oven and let it cool until easy to handle.
Once cooled, cut the sweet potato in half and scoop out the flesh. You will need 1 cup for this recipe.
In a food processor, add the sweet potato and Crystal Margarine. Blend until smooth.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until your desired consistency is reached.
Garnish with your favourite herbs and vegetables.
Chef’s tip: blending while the sweet potatoes are still slightly warm helps everything blend smoothly.
