Ingredients

  • 4 pita pocket bread sliced into 8 triangles each
  • 1/2 /2 cup chickpeas drained and rinsed, pat dry
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil + more for drizzle
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 /4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 /2 medium cucumber diced small
  • 1/4 /4 cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 /2 cup sun-dried tomatoes julienned (I like the ones in oil and I just dab off the oil before using)
  • 1/2 /2 cup banana peppers sliced
  • 1 small shallot thinly sliced
  • 1/2 /2 cup feta crumbles
  • 2-3 green onions sliced for garnish (I use white and green parts)
  • 2-3 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
  • hummus for serving
  • Tzatziki sauce for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line one baking sheet with parchment paper and spread pita triangles across. Drizzle olive oil lightly across the pita bread, along with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. 
  2. On a second baking sheet, spread out the rinsed and dried chickpeas. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and onion powder. Place both sheets in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, tossing each halfway through.  Check for desired crispiness and remove from oven.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare toppings and dips, if making homemade.
  4. When the pita chips come out of the oven, transfer them to a serving tray/plate (or just leave them on the tray!). Top pita slices with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, banana peppers, shallot slices, and feta crumbles.
  5. If desired, put the nachos back in the oven for 3-5 minutes if you want the toppings to be warm, too. Garnish with green onion and chopped parsley. Serve immediately with hummus and/or tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: for best results, reheat on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 until warmed through and crispy.
