After making the falafel, 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
