Kitchen Tips

• A little bit of fresh sage goes a long way. If you aren’t sure how much to use, start with a small amount. Then taste and add more, if desired. 
• Although you can use the same extra virgin olive oil for the entire recipe, adding a drizzle of a higher quality variety right before serving will add an extra “pop” of flavor. 
• Cannellini beans can also be referred to as white kidney beans.

How To Make Homemade White Bean Dip with Pita Chips?

Step #1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 

Step #2. To make your homemade pita chips, line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut each pita breads into 8 equal-sized wedges. Lightly brush pita wedges with olive oil on both sides and place on a lined baking sheet. 

Step #3. Season pita with salt and pepper before placing it in the oven. Bake for 5-6 minutes before turning each wedge. Return to the oven and continue baking for another 5 or 6 minutes, or until pita wedges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside. 

Step #4. Add your white beans, fresh garlic, lemon juice, sage leaves, and remaining oil to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend until it makes a bean puree. 

Step #5. Place puree into a serving bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, add a dash of cayenne pepper and a drizzle of some high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve with seasoned pita chips or vegetable crudités. Enjoy!
