These guiltless Homemade Pita Chips with Red Pepper Dip are full of flavor and oh-so-easy to make. We bake our pita wedges until they're crisp, and then blend together roasted red bell peppers with almonds and other high-flavor ingredients. The results are a healthy, full-flavored snack. Ingredients:
2 (6-inch) whole-wheat pitas |
cooking spray |
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1 cup bottled roasted red bell peppers |
1/4 cup marcona almonds or dry-roasted almonds (about 1 1/4 ounces) |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Cut each pita into 16 wedges. Carefully peel apart each wedge to make 2 thinner wedges. Arrange wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat wedges with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and paprika. Bake at 400° for 6 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
3. While chips bake, combine bell peppers and remaining ingredients in a blender; add remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth. Serve with chips.
