Roasted Sweet Potato Hummus

What are you guys eating these days? Can I live eat vicariously through you? Only 15 days to go!

I normally slather hummus on everything from flatbread to sandwiches, salads and veggies. But, since chickpeas aren’t allowed on the Whole 30, I had to come up with a hummus alternative that was just as versatile and delicious.

Brightly colored, sweet and spicy this sweet potato hummus is my new best friend! I’ve been gobbling it up by the cupful with fresh veggies, but it would be great served with toasted pita bread or sesame crackers for a yummy appetizer or party dish.
