Hummus

Chips and Pita

Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and water.

  2. 2

    Blend Until Smooth

    Process the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic to suit your preference.

Chips and Pita Preparation

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare Pita Chips

    Cut the pita bread into triangles and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  3. 6

    Bake Chips

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
