I have a baked falafel recipe that leaves me with some leftover pita, and my favorite enchilada recipe leaves me with half a jar of roasted red peppers. I turned them into this smoky, savory dip.

Description

I have a baked falafel recipe that leaves me with some leftover pita, and my favorite enchilada recipe leaves me with half a jar of roasted red peppers. I turned them into this smoky, savory dip.

Instructions

1. Puree all of the ingredients, in a food processor. Transfer to a serving bowl.

2. To make the pita chips, preheat the oven to 400 F. Cut 2 or 3 small pita rounds into 4 pieces and then separate the pieces into halves. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil. Bake in a single layer for 6-8 minutes until just starting to brown.
