Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole wheat pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 15-ounce can Garbanzo beans (canned), drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 1 piece Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each whole wheat pita bread into 8 wedges to create triangular chips.
Place the pita wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and toss to evenly coat.
Arrange the pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking. Remove from the oven and let cool.
While the pita chips are baking, prepare the garbanzo bean cumin dip. In a food processor, combine the garbanzo beans, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the food processor. Blend until smooth. If the dip seems too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water and blend again.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
Serve the cooled whole wheat pita chips with the garbanzo bean cumin dip. Enjoy!
