Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 2 pita breads into bite-size pieces and spread on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and toast in a 400°F oven until golden and crisp, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix 1 cup yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/2 tsp cumin. Season with salt and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    In a saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add the drained chickpeas and 1/2 tsp cumin, and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the crispy pita on a serving plate, spoon the warm chickpeas over, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with paprika or fresh herbs if you have them.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately while the pita is still crunchy.
