Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 cups Vegetables for serving (e.g., carrots, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the hummus-inspired dip, add chickpeas, Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to a food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until desired texture is achieved.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cumin or paprika for extra flavor.
For the pita chips, cut each pita bread into 8 triangular pieces and place them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, dried parsley, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Brush this mixture onto both sides of each pita triangle.
Bake the pita chips in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through baking for even crispness.
Remove the baked chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Arrange the garlic pita chips and an assortment of sliced vegetables around the dip for serving.
Enjoy your hummus-inspired veggie dip with garlic pita chips!
