Baked Pita Chips & Hummus

We all love chips and dips. Let's try to make it healthier and home made. It's so easy and fast I am sure you are not going to buy it from store, which is very expensive and not fresh.

This Pita chips are so good with home made hummus or just like that.

Ingredients :
4 Pita bread pockets ( I used whole wheat)
1 tsp. oil olive
1/8 tsp. garlic powder, black pepper powder
If you like to add any dried herbs, you can do it.

Method:
 
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. Place triangles on lined cookie sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the oil, pepper, salt, basil and chervil. Brush each triangle with oil mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Watch carefully, as they tend to burn easily!


Hummus Dip:

Ingredients

  • 1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Place lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic and salt in blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.
