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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut each whole wheat pita bread into 8 wedges to create triangular chips.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the cooled whole wheat pita chips with the garbanzo bean cumin dip. Enjoy!
