For the Dip
- 1 15-oz400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 - 3 large fresh sage leaves
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/Gas 5. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each pita into 8 equal-sized wedges. Lightly brush pita wedges with olive oil on both sides and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Season the pita with salt and pepper before placing it in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pita wedges are golden brown, flipping them halfway through. Remove from the oven and set them aside.
