Ingredients
For the pita chips, you’ll need:
- 16 pita rounds (cut into 8 wedges each, then split in half)
- ½ cup olive oil
- salt
- cinnamon sugar (3 tablespoons of sugar mixed with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and a pinch of salt)
For the hummus, you’ll need:
- 2 cans chickpeas (31 ounces/880g, drained)
- 3 cloves garlic
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup ice water
- 2 tablespoons Za’atar
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
For the pita chips:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the pita chip pieces in one even layer on two baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to evenly coat the pita pieces. Sprinkle one pan with salt and one pan evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until crunchy and golden brown. Let cool completely on the baking sheets. Store in airtight containers.
Cup of Yum
For the hummus:
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl of your food processor with the garlic. Process until the peas and garlic are finely ground. With the food processor on, drizzle the olive oil in, followed by the water.
- Scrape the bowl as needed to ensure the texture is smooth. Add the za’atar, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt, and blend until smooth and combined.
