Paring hummus with veggies makes this dip one of the healthiest treats you can indulge in anytime!
Some of our favorite veggies to use to scoop up hummus are baby carrots, sliced cucumbers, and my personal favorite, sugar snap peas. But you could use all sorts of veggies, broccoli florets, sliced red, yellow, orange or green bell peppers, or crunchy jicama slices would also be delicious!
The classic combo is pairing hummus with pita bread wedges. Hummus & pita bread go together like bread & butter, peanut butter & jelly, wine & cheese…you get the drift. They are a match made in heaven!
Sure you can serve up wedges of pita bread but taking the time to toast the pita bread makes it that much more special and delicious! Skip the store bought pita chips, making them yourself takes only a few short minutes. Pop pita bread rounds in the oven, and while they bake up and get nice and toasty, you have plenty of time to whip up this tasty hummus for a delectable healthy snack in no time!
Preheat oven to 400°. Place pita bread rounds on a cookie sheet and baste with olive oil and sprinkle with a little kosher salt.
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until lightly toasted and beginning to brown.
You now have plenty of time to make this delectable hummus while the pita bread toasts in the oven.
Place garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, roasted red peppers, salt, cayenne, onion powder in a food processor.
Pulse until smooth and creamy.
Use a rubber spatula to spread out hummus in a shallow dish and top with a generous drizzle of olive oil.
Cut toasted pita bread into wedges.
Serve hummus with toasted pita bread and assorted fresh veggies.
