1/4 cup olive oil (more as needed for blending)

Method

​

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Slice the top off of the garlic, exposing the cloves. Drizzle the diced sweet potato and garlic with olive oil and season with a little salt.
    

2. Roast for 30-35 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
    

3. We used about 5 cloves from the head of roasted garlic. Save the rest for another recipe! Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
    

4. If your blender comes with a tamper, use it! If you’re having trouble blending, add a little more olive oil as needed. Enjoy!
