Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Peel sweet potato and chop into large cubes. Toss with oil in a large bowl, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until tender and just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Step 2

Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, paprika and water to a food processor. Process until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add more water, if desired, to make a looser dip.

Step 3

Transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with paprika and pepitas, if desired.
