My husband and I love snacking on homemade pita chips and hummus. One evening, I decided to spice things up and threw pickled jalape\u00f1os and banana peppers on top and my mind was blown. That\u2019s when I came up with this idea of Mediterranean nachos. Of course, I immediately took to Google and saw a bunch of recipes for Mediterranean nachos so clearly my idea isn\u2019t so original lol. But amazingly delicious nonetheless! My husband and I are pretty obsessed with these Mediterranean nachos and often enjoy a platter after we put the kids to bed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make homemade pita chips?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homemade pita chips are so easy to make and even more delicious when you enjoy them warm. Once you try them, you\u2019ll NEVER buy store bought pita chips again, I promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to cut pita bread into eight slices, just like a pizza pie. I find that\u2019s the perfect size pita chip. Then I like to drizzle my pita chips with olive oil and season with Trader Joe\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> ranch seasoning. Pure perfection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite way to cook pita chips is in an air fryer. I cook at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes and toss them around each minute to make sure the pita chips don\u2019t burn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make beet hummus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this particular recipe, I used beet hummus but you can use whatever hummus you like. Beet hummus has such a beautiful, bright shade of pink and I wanted to add a pop of color to my photos, for aesthetics of course! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make beet hummus, you\u2019ll need to roast a small beet in the oven. I cook it just like a baked potato, wrapped in foil at 375 degrees for about 1 hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once cooked, the beet should be tender. Cut into small chunks and set aside. Once you have all your ingredients together, throw everything into a food processor and you\u2019ll have smooth, creamy hummus. Easy, peasy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently made these gorgeous cucumber appetizers stuffed with beet hummus. I got the inspiration from The Noshy Tales<\/a><\/strong> who posted these on instagram. I added edible flowers to make them even prettier! Check out my Cucumber Appetizers<\/a><\/strong> video on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Mediterranean nachos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mediterranean nachos are basically like Mexican nachos, except you’re swapping out the tortilla chips for pita chips and the traditional toppings for Mediterranean ingredients like hummus, Kalamata olives, cucumber, tzatziki, etc. You can customize this dish however you like. The possibilities are endless. I would love to add falafels and tabbouleh too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added an edible flower on top of my dish to make it more visually appealing. Edible flowers are so beautiful, I recently started buying them and I think they elevate my dishes so much! Shout out to my IG friend Kelly from Eat the Rainbow Kids<\/a><\/strong> for inspiring me to try edible flowers! I am completely obsessed. Check out my Mediterranean Nachos<\/a><\/strong> video on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • I like to saut\u00e9 the garlic in olive oil because I think it tastes better that way. If you choose to cook your garlic, go ahead and do that now. If not, skip to next step.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
