Parmesan Pita with dip

Parmesan Pita Chips with Mashed Dip

• Whole wheat pitas, opened and cut into wedges
• Grated fresh parmesan
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Basil or other dried herb (optional)
• Can of white beans, drained and rinsed
• Squeeze of tomato or sundried tomato paste
• Glug of olive oil

Cut pitas into wedges and separate their layers. Spread them on a baking sheet, spray them lightly with oil and sprinkle them with parmesan and dried basil. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 400 degrees F, until toasty and brown.

Meanwhile, dump beans in a medium sized bowl, add a squeeze of tomato or sundried tomato paste, a pinch of salt and pepper and a glug of olive oil and mash them with a potato masher until a smoother consistency is formed. Serve this with the Parmesan Pita Chips.
