Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

2 cups cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
1 cup roasted red peppers chopped
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Pita Chips Ingredients

4 pieces whole wheat pita bread cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2 Place the pita wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano and salt, and toss to coat evenly.
3 Bake the pita wedges for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let them cool.
4 In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5 Process the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add a tablespoon of water if the hummus is too thick and process again.
6 Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
7 Serve the hummus with the cooled pita chips on the side for dipping.
