  2. In a food processor, combine oats, pecans, walnuts, minced garlic, maple syrup, olive oil, dried thyme, rosemary, sea salt, and pepper. Pulse until just combined.
  3. Scoop the roasted sweet potato flesh into a food processor. Add olive oil, milk, ground ginger, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
