How to make sweet potato hummus:

To make this recipe, start by cooking the sweet potatoes. Peel them and then cook them in a boiling pot of water, but if you’re on a time crunch you can totally make them in the microwave.

Combined the cooked sweet potatoes with the rest of the ingredients in the bowl of a large food processor and pulse for several minutes until all of the ingredients are broken down and the mixture becomes smooth just like traditional hummus!
