Avocado Hummus and Zaatar Chips
I absolutely love hummus. It is a staple in our home and kitchen and I have shared many different variations of this smashed chickpea dip! My super smooth hummus is a favorite. This recipe is for my avocado hummus and zaatar chips recipe.
I love making big batches of my hummus and keeping it in an airtight container in the fridge for a healthy and quick snack!
If you’ve never had zaatar, it is an earthy blend of dried thyme, oregano, toasted sesame seeds, sumac and salt. I got mine while visiting Lebanon, but you can find it in your local Middle Eastern Store or on Amazon
- Avocado Hummus
- 1 15oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley (more for garnish, if desired)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Zaatar Tortilla Chips
- 6 corn tortillas (I use Maria and Ricardos Corn tortillas)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons zaatar
- Inn a food processor, pulse together chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, cumin and tahini until smooth.
- Add in the avocado and pulse until smooth. If the mixture is very thick, add one tablespoon cold water to loosen. Add a second tablespoon, if needed.
- Taste and adjust salt, if needed.
- Top with EVOO, and parsley leaves.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper
- Cut tortillas into wedges. Using a pastry brush, brush olive oil on both sides of the tortilla wedges.
- Sprinkle with zaatar.
- Arrange on baking sheet, in a flat single layer.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until slightly golden. Be sure to turn tray half way thru cooking.
- Allow to cool
- Enjoy 🙂
