STEP 1

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a medium roasting pan. Line 3 baking trays with baking paper. Arrange the sweet potato in a single layer in the prepared pan. Spray with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with the cumin and paprika. Season. Bake for 30-35 mins or until tender. Set aside for 20 mins to cool.

STEP 3

Process sweet potato, chickpeas and garlic in a food processor until combined. Add the lemon juice, tahini and yoghurt. Process to combine. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream until smooth. Season.

STEP 4

Transfer the hommus to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the coriander and roasted chickpeas. Serve with the pita pieces. 

Spice it up: For some heat, add 1 long red chilli, seeded and finely chopped, to the sweet potato mixture in step 3.
