⅓ cup tahini

¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper

½ lemon, juiced

2 tablespoons cold fresh water (Optional)
-
1 pinch ground Aleppo pepper

freshly chopped parsley leaves for garnish

Add tahini and garlic to the sweet potatoes. Season with salt, cumin, chipotle, and cayenne. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Mash until hummus reaches desired smoothness. Add water to lighten the texture; whisk in 1 tablespoon at a time.

Chef's Notes:
Make sure your sweet potatoes are very, very tender. Measure out 2 cups if yours are already mashed.
Some folks like just a hint of garlic and lemon, while others like to be crushed by it. Same goes for the tahini and other seasonings.
