This Sweet Potato Hummus with Roasted Chickpeas is just as good as it sounds—a spicy, flavor-packed snack that’s healthy and vegan, too! Made from sweet potatoes and chickpeas, you won’t feel guilty indulging in this good-for-you snack.

Guys, I have a serious question… 

Is there anything better than hummus? Answer: yes, but the only thing better than hummus is roasted chickpeas. Combine the two and BOOM, you’re in foodie heaven. 

Confession: I ate the hummus for dinner one night alongside a bag of pita chips. I am not proud, but it’s the truth. It was one of those situations where, as I was eating it, I kept telling myself ‘just one more bite’ buuuuuuuut… clearly I couldn’t stop. 

I probs don’t need to talk about my obsession with this recipe—if I wasn’t obsessed, I wouldn’t be sharing it! I want to talk about what little miss Lay Lay did the other night.

I suppose I never really mentioned it, but Layla turned 1 at the beginning of September. It was around that time that Miguel and I started allowing her to be out of her crate when she was home alone. We didn’t do it sooner, not because we were afraid she’d chew on all of our stuff, but because we were afraid she’d accidentally pee in the apartment. And, so far so good—our little angel was being a little angel all by herself. That is, until this past Saturday. 

Saturday evening I went over to my mom’s for dinner and left Layla alone for approximately 3 hours (side note: my mom and stepdad are currently renting and the complex doesn’t allow pets or else I would have brought her). When I returned home, we greeted each other respectively, aka we hugged and kissed (judge away…) and then I sat on the couch and turned on the TV. Five minutes later I made my way into the bedroom only to find my fitted mattress sheet and foam mattress topper torn into a hundred tiny pieces. Just completely shredded. A giant hole in my sheet and the foam topper all over my bed and floor. I just stood there with my mouth hung open. How could she?!!! She’s supposed to be perfect!!! Ladies and gentlemen, she is not perfect. I KNOW, I was in utter disbelief as well.

Needless to say, I yelled at her and tried to use body language to let her know I was pissed. And by that I mean I ignored her for 20 minutes, which is a pretty long time in Erin-Layla world. Still, she’s banned from the bedroom when Miguel and I aren’t home for the next couple weeks. Psh… dogs. Can’t live with them, but somehow can’t live without them either. 

Want to hear a leeeeeeettle more about this hummus?

Good. 

It’s made from sweet potatoes, is a little spicy, it’s gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and packed with flavor. Top with my favorite crunchy roasted chickpeas for an added kick and you’ve got yourself an awesome snack. Or, if you’re me, dinner.

    Hi Erin! Well as a sweet-potato and hummus lover, I came here for the recipe, but had to laugh at the narrative. I’m a puppy owner as well (first-time puppy owner), and my little Rudy (a maltipoo) is eight months old. So far he is good at not chewing things, but he is left out of his crate in only one area of the house. He does not go on the carpeted areas just yet, because he’s not ready. 🙂 And I could never ignore him for 20 minutes, no matter what he did. You must have been really mad! Have a lovely day!

      I was SO mad haha but she’s super spoiled. We’re practicing with crating again/blocking off one area for her. So far so good!

    I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made a dinner out of some kind of chips and dip. No shame! I just don’t feel like making anything fancy after a long day of recipe experimenting 😆

    Bella’s not a chewer, luckily, but there was a streak of several years where every few weeks she’d get into the garbage in the kitchen and just drag it all over the house. I’m talkin’ bits of foil, coffee grounds, egg shells, the works. It was disgusting, I have no idea what got into her. We finally got a trash can that locked because none of the others kept her out.

  • HI! I feel like it’s been a minute and I want to chat HEALTH. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the last couple months, I’ve been feeling kind of off. My migraines are becoming more frequent (again), and I’ve been experiencing almost daily nausea for two months. As 2019 comes to an end, I must say there are a couple things I’ve learned. 1) Every BODY is different, and what works for one person might not work for another. This is something I’ve always known, but I kind of forgot to remind myself of it throughout the year. 2) LISTEN TO YOUR GUT. We all have gut instincts on what to do when something seems “off”. If you’re me, you tend to quiet that voice (bc HIIII I’m super stubborn), but don’t! I knew months ago that I should seek the help of a functional medicine doctor to try to get to the root cause, but waited until a couple weeks ago to actually go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ➖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted to talk about this awhile ago, but kept telling myself it wasn’t important and that so many people have it worse. And, I didn’t and still don’t want to sound complain-y. But, the truth is, we all have SOMETHING and though I don’t have it all figured out quite yet, I’m hopeful that 2020 will be the year I truly heal my migraines/joint pain/nausea 🤞🏻 If you’ve also been feeling off recently, just know that I’m right there with you. *more in my stories*
