My Favorite Hummus & Parmesan Pita Chips
This classic tahini-based hummus is paired with homemade parmesan pita chips for a great party appetizer or afternoon snack!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the hummus:
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
For the chips:
- 4 pita bread rounds
- 4 tablespoons garlic olive oil
- pinch of sweet paprika
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- For the hummus:Place garlic in a food processor and pulse until minced. Add the beans, salt, lemon juice and tahini; pulse several times. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil, stopping at 3 tablespoons to check the consistency.
- Add additional oil if you prefer a thinner hummus. Continue processing until mixture is smooth.
- For the chips:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Cut the pita rounds into triangles and place in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss until the pita bread is well coated.
- Spread in a single layer on the jelly roll pan and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Cool until ready to serve.
Notes
Chips will keep in an airtight container for about a week.
