Preparation

Step 1

To make pita chips, place oven rack in middle position. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Coat both sides of split pitas with cooking spray; sprinkle tops with salt. Using a pizza wheel or knife, cut each pita into 8 wedges; place wedges on prepared baking sheet.

Bake on middle oven rack until light golden and crisp, about 6 to 7minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Meanwhile, to make dip, place chickpeas, water, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in mint. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes for flavors to blend.

To serve, spoon dip into a serving dish. Mound diced tomatoes in center and sprinkle with remaining mint; serve with pita chips. Yields about 1/4 cup of dip and 4 pita chips per serving.
