I had some scapes leftover from the pesto I made the other day. As I ate the pesto with the pasta and white beans, I thought about how this flavor combo would make a good hummus. I had some leftover pita sitting in the freezer from a few weeks ago that was begging to be turned in to some pita chips. I figured it would be a good after-school snack for the kids when they got home from school.
5-6 garlic scapes
1 can white beans
1-2 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. thyme
ground pepper
1.5 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
Place everything in a food processor and go to town! It’s that easy! Seriously!
Pita (I used around 10)
1/2 cup olive oil (approx. – depends on amount of pita)
1 tsp. sea salt
fresh ground pepper
assorted herbs (half of mine were zaatar, half had a garlic/thyme mixture)
Preaheat oven to 400.
Cut pita in to wedges.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the spices of your choosing.
Brush the pita triangles with the oil mixture. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet
Bake for around 7-8 minutes or so.
Cool pita chips for a few minutes and serve. Enjoy!

I love pita chips and am always looking for something other than hummus to dip them in. this looks great!
I love experimenting with hummus recipes!
I just got some scapes from the CSA and I love White Bean Dip, will definitely make this. I also got some green garlic, any suggestions for that?
This article from the NY Times has some wonderful recipes! http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/when-garlic-goes-green/
