Description
After making my 🧆 Air Fryer Falafel (GF) 🥙, I realized that sweet potato and chickpeas are a fantastic combination. This sweet potato hummus combines the two together perfectly, and has the addition of anti-inflammatory spices, such as ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon. It's creamy and delicious on a salad or wrap, has a great orange hue, and is high in fiber while being lower in fat than store-bought hummus
 Check out some of my other flavors of hummus as well! They're all either contain either low or no oil, making them lower in fat and calories than traditional. I have plenty of differnent flavors coming from various spices, roasted vegetables, differnet nut and seed butters, and even different beans:
- Classic Tahini Hummus
- Creamy Pesto Hummus
- Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
- Cheesy Garlic Hummus
- Mediterranean Roasted Eggplant Hummus
- Creamy Roasted Beet Hummus
- Ginger Lime Black Bean Hummus
- Lemony Taco Inspired Hummus
