Calories 230kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 Pita bread cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil plus about 1 teaspoon for the pita
  • 1/4 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • 1 cup Chickpeas Drained and rinsed (or purchase store bought hummus)
  • 1 Tbsp Tahini paste
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cumin
  • Cold Water
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the pita with oil, salt, and lemon pepper seasoning. Bake in the oven until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside. Pita will continue to crisp up as it cools.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, olive oil, salt & pepper. Drizzle water a tablespoon at a time to smooth out and reach a spreadable creamy consistency. Taste and adjust any of the ingredients as needed.
    (Hummus can be made a day in advance and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.)
  • Serve the pita chips with hummus.
