Sweet Potato Hummus with Confit Garlic
This will be the tastiest hummus you have ever eaten with the addition of sweet potato. Also fantastic with carrot or pumkin - go for it!
Don't be afraid to try this with pumpkin or carrots; this is seriously good eating. Looking to impress? Use the confit garlic. No time to impress? Just replace the confit garlic with 1 clove fresh...and actually, you will still impress. This is great party food then think about what you can serve it with...we went with crackers, but equally amazing with some fresh flatbread of choice!
