Spicy Black Bean Hummus with Seasoned Pita Chips

Step 1

Rinse and drain your black beans and then add them to a food processor, or blender.  Next, add in all the remaining hummus ingredients.  Turn the food processor on and slowly drizzle in the olive oil until desired consistency is reached.  I used about 2 tablespoons of olive oil.  You can always add more in if you prefer your hummus to be a little creamier.

Step 2

Heat over to 400 degrees F.  Add your cumin, paprika, garlic powder and salt to a small bowl and mix until combined.  Cut your pita bread into chip sized slices and place on a large baking sheet.  Brush the front and back of each pita with some olive oil, or spray with cooking spray.

Step 3

Lightly sprinkle the seasoning mix onto both sides of the pita bread and then arrange in a single layer on your baking sheet.  Place in the pre-heated oven and bake until pita bread chips are just starting to brown and looking a little crispy, about 7-10 minutes, flipping pita once.  Pita can burn easily in the oven, so just keep a close eye on it.

Step 4

Add your black bean hummus to a serving bowl and enjoy with the pita chips, tortilla chips or veggies!
