                                          Instructions
                                           

                                          • Preheat oven to 375 °F degrees. Place sweet potatoes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Prick potatoes 5 or 6 times prior to baking.
                                            Bake:
                                            Conventional oven: 375 °F for 50 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F for 45 minutes.
                                            Bake sweet potatoes until flesh is fork tender.
                                            Critical Control Point:
                                            Heat to 135 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
                                            Remove from oven, and let cool. Remove skin from sweet potatoes and set flesh aside for step 3.
                                          • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, salt, coriander, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
                                          • Process hummus in batches as needed.
                                            For 50 servings, 4 batches.
                                            For 100 servings, 8 batches.
                                            Example for 50 servings: Place a quarter of the peeled baked sweet potatoes in a large food processor. Add half of the chickpea mixture. Puree for 3 minutes, or until all ingredients are smooth. Scrape down the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula and puree for another 30 seconds or until hummus is smooth and creamy. (If hummus is too thick, slowly add ⅛ cup water as needed). Transfer hummus to a large bowl. Proceed with the next batch. Combine all batches together and mix well with a rubber spatula.
                                          • Transfer hummus to serving containers, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
