  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425. Combine the sweet potato, chickpeas, and garlic in a food processor along with the dry spices, hot sauce, and maple syrup. Process until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup bread crumbs and stir to combine.
