Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 pieces pita bread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing pita)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for pita crisps)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground paprika (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into triangles or small bite-sized wedges, and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the pita wedges with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, baby spinach, parsley, cilantro, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and water.
Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding additional salt or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the Jade Hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle with ground paprika, if using.
Serve the hummus with the cooled pita crisps on the side.
