Sweet Potatoes definitely rock my world. I use them in so many different ways and they never disappoint! I’ll show you a traditional hummus recipe with a twist. I used delicious roasted sweet potato which gives the hummus a slightly sweet taste. Homemade hummus is bursting with flavour, it’s not only easy and cheap, but also very healthy. It’s definitely something we should make regularly! Get your favourite veggies or some warm pita and enjoy! Yummy. 😋
