MAKES: 3 cups

INGREDIENTS 

• 
  
• 1 cup baked sweet potato (skin removed)
  1 1/2 cups garbanzo beans, drained
  2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  2 Tbsp tahini
  4 Tbsp grape seed oil (or olive oil)
  1/3 cup nutritional yeast
  1-2 tsp agave or maple syrup
  optional: 1/4 cup orange juice - for a zesty sweet accent of flavor!
  salt and spice to taste*
  * I used Cajun seasoning and seasoned salt from Penzey's Spices
  * Add more oil/vinegar to thin out your hummus more - if desired. Or replace oil with low-fat soy milk or zesty orange juice.

• 1. Add all the ingredients to a Vitamix of Food Processor.

  
  

  2. Pulse or blend until smooth. For chunkier hummus - pulse the mixture and keep a few of the beans half-chopped instead of pureed. I went with a full on puree for creamier hummus.
