Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained and chopped)
- 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut each pita bread into 6 to 8 triangles, depending on desired size.
Arrange the pita triangles on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush the pita pieces lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Sprinkle garlic powder and salt evenly over the pita triangles.
Bake the pita triangles in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, and pepper.
Blend the dip mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the processor as needed. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped basil or additional grated Parmesan, if desired.
Serve the sun-dried tomato basil dip alongside the crispy pita triangles. Enjoy!
