How to Make White Bean Dip with Homemade Pita Chips

As I mentioned, this recipe for white bean dip with homemade pita chips is super easy to make.  It doesn’t take long to pull together.  Chilling time in the refrigerator is probably your longest time waiting.  You’ll need a blender or food processor for this recipe plus a baking sheet for the pita bread. 

To make the homemade pita chips:

To start, you’ll preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each of the 6 pita breads into 8 equal-sized wedges. Lightly brush pita wedges with the 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on both sides and place on prepared baking sheet.

Season pita with salt and pepper (or your favorite chip seasonings) before placing in oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes before turning each wedge. Return to oven and continue baking for another 5 or 6 minutes, or until pita wedges are golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

To make the white bean dip:

Add 1 can of cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), 3 cloves of fresh garlic, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 – 3 sage leaves*, and 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil to the food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

*Note: A little bit of fresh sage goes a long way. If you aren’t sure how much to use, start with a small amount. Then taste and add more, if desired.

Pour bean mixture into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, add a dash of cayenne pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve with seasoned pita chips or cut up fresh vegetable.
