Ingredients
- 1 whole head of garlic
- 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of water
- 4-6 pita breads, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cut off the top of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil, and wrap in foil. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.
- In a food processor, combine the roasted garlic, white beans, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- With the food processor running, slowly add in the water until the dip reaches your desired consistency.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves.
- To make the toasted pita chips, arrange the pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden and crispy.
- Serve the Roasted Garlic and White Bean Dip with the toasted pita chips on the side.
