🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 whole wheat pita bread (120g)
✓ 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
✓ 3/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1/3 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
✓ 2 cloves garlic, minced
✓ 1 tsp lemon juice
✓ 1 tsp ground cumin
✓ 1 tsp olive oil (divided)
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
✓ 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses (or lemon juice alternative)
✓ 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
✓ 1 tbsp pine nuts, lightly toasted
✓ 1/2 tsp sumac (optional, for tang)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Pita: Cut pita bread into 8 triangles. Lightly brush both sides with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.

2. Crisp the Bread: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring halfway. Set aside to cool completely.

3. Toast the Chickpeas: Pat chickpeas dry. Toss with remaining 1/2 tsp oil, cumin, salt, and cayenne in a small bowl. Spread on a separate baking sheet and roast at 375°F for 5–7 minutes until crispy and fragrant.

4. Build the Yogurt Layer: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Divide evenly between two shallow bowls.

5. Layer the Hummus: Spoon hummus (approximately 2.5 tbsp per bowl) into the center of the yogurt base, creating a well. Leave a 1-inch border of yogurt visible.

6. Assemble the Stack: Arrange crispy pita triangles around the hummus core, slightly overlapping. Top hummus center with toasted chickpeas.

7. Finish with Garnish: Drizzle pomegranate molasses in a light zigzag across the bowl. Sprinkle parsley, pine nuts, and sumac (if using) over the entire dish.

8. Serve Immediately: Eat within 2 minutes while pita is still crispy and warm. The contrast of textures and temperatures defines the dish.
