Ingredients

For the Seasoned Pita Chips

  • 6 pitas
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the White Bean Dip

  • 1 15 oz/400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic peeled
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 - 3 large fresh sage leaves chopped
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp high-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper or paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5 and line a 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 on lined baking sheet.
  • Season pita with salt and pepper before placing in oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes before turning each wedge to toast the opposite side. Return to oven and continue baking for another 5 or 6 minutes, or until pita wedges are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.


    Seasoned Pita Chips
  • Add cannellini beans, fresh garlic, lemon juice, sage leaves, and olive oil to the bowl of a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
  • Pour the bean mixture into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, add a dash of cayenne pepper or paprika and a drizzle of some high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Serve with seasoned pita chips or vegetable crudités.
