Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Pita bread for chips
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the pita bread into triangles and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Brush the pita triangles lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp, flipping halfway through.
  5. While the pita chips are baking, steam the edamame until tender, about 5 minutes if using fresh, or 3-4 minutes if frozen. Drain and let cool slightly.
  6. In a food processor, combine the steamed edamame, tahini, olive oil, sweet chili sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a little water if necessary to achieve desired consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer to a serving bowl.

Notes

Tip: For an extra burst of flavor, top the hummus with a drizzle of sweet chili sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds before serving.

For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the hummus. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the hummus for an additional minute or two. Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pita chips can be stored in a zip-top bag for a week, ensuring they stay crunchy!

Feel free to swap out edamame for chickpeas if you want a more traditional hummus flavor, but the edamame gives it a unique twist that you’ll love!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets with olive oil, curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through.
  5. While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the mint yogurt dip by mixing together the yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving with the mint yogurt dip.

Notes

Tip: For an extra crunch, you can dip the cauliflower in a light batter before coating with the spice mixture.

To ensure your cauliflower florets are perfectly crispy, make sure they are well-dried before coating them with the spice mixture. You can also adjust the level of curry powder based on your preference for spice.

For variations, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne for extra heat, or substitute the yogurt with a plant-based option to make it vegan. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and reheat them in an oven to maintain their crispiness.
