Are you in need for a simple and fast, yet elegant appetizer? If yes, then Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Garlicky Pita Chips is the perfect solution. This hummus dip requires only a slight bit of chopping and a food processor. The pita chips are quickly tossed in a garlicky olive oil mixture and bakes in less than 15 minutes.Â
Not only is this a delicious dip, but healthy too! Â Chickpeas are legumes that are also called garbanzo beans and are an excellent source of fiber. Â
Be sure to fully blend the ingredients to create a creamy and smooth texture. Â If you opt to omit the pita chips, trying serving with raw veggies.
You are going to love the sweetness from the roasted red pepper with the underlying flavor of sesame. The hint of garlic and lemon add the right amount of zing. And the roasted red pepper adds a flavorful twist to traditional hummus.

Garlicky Pita Chips
Serves 6
Adapted from If It Makes You Healthy, Sheryl Crow & Chuck White
Ingredients:
3 whole-wheat pita rounds, cut into 8 segments (like pizza) 2-tablespoon light olive oil 2-teaspoon garlic powder 2-teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Cooking sprayÂ
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Lightly cover 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.Â
- Separate the top of each pita from the bottom, so that each is divided into 2 halves. Transfer the halves to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well, using your hands, but gently so that each pita triangle is well coated.Â
- Lay the pita triangles on the baking sheets in a single layer. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.Â
- Let the pita chips cool on the baking sheets to room temperature. Use immediately or store in a sealed plastic bag or large container with a lid for up to 1 week.
