Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Let your kid use a pair of (safe) scissors to cut the pita into various triangles. After they are cut peel the two layers apart so the pita is thin. Spread pita triangles out on a parchment (or Silpat) lined rimmed cookie sheets and brush each triangle lightly with olive oil. It’s important not to over saturate the chips or they will get soggy. Just give them a light brushing. Sprinkle with salt and bake them in the the oven for 7 to 10 minutes or until crunchy.

Meanwhile, pour beans, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika and fresh cracked pepper (to tasted) into a food processor. Blend until it reaches a smooth and creamy texture. When pita chips are done, remove from oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack.

When cool, serve chips with white bean dip and be prepared for addition!
