This is the best way to do pita chips and hummus - making then both from scratch is so good and super easy!
As long as you have some sort of blender you can make homemade hummus with just a few ingredients. And these chips are to die for, made with whole wheat pita and baked in the oven.
Serve this simple hummus with assorted chopped veggies for an hors d‘oeuvres, or add to a salad or wrap for additional plant based protein and fiber. Try the recipe below!
hummus ingredients (makes 6 servings)
1 can chickpeas
1/4 cup tahini

juice from one lemon
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp cold water
pita crisp ingredients (makes 4 servings)
2 whole wheat 9” tortillas

1 tsp zaatar seasoning
