Parmesan Lavash Chips With Creamy Tomato Basil Dip Recipes

VEGGIE FOREST WITH PARMESAN RANCH DIP

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, buttermilk, Parmesan, dill, garlic powder, salt and onion powder. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors mingle.
• Nestle the carrots, snap peas, cucumbers and peppers in wheatgrass, or stand the veggies in small cups to make them easy for the kids to eat! Serve the dip alongside.

PARMESAN LAVASH CHIPS WITH CREAMY TOMATO-BASIL DIP

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• For the chips: Brush the breads with the oil using a pastry brush and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Cut each bread into 32 triangles and arrange in a single layer, cheese-side-up, on 2 baking sheets. Bake until light golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the dip: Bring the tomato-basil sauce to a simmer over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the gorgonzola and mascarpone until incorporated. Pour the dip into a serving bowl and serve the chips alongside.

APPLE CHIPS WITH SWEET YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• For the chips: Place 1 rack at the top and 1 at the bottom position and preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 large heavy baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly coat the parchment with nonstick spray.
• For the topping: In a small bowl, stir the sugar, cinnamon and salt until blended.
• For the apple chips: Stand each apple upright. Cut 1/4 inch vertically off the right and left sides of each apple. Set the mandoline or v-slicer for cutting 1/16-inch-thick slices. Place 1 apple, cut-side down, on the slicer. Cut slices until the apple core is exposed. Turn the apple over and cut slices off the remaining side until the core is exposed. Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on one of the baking sheets. Repeat with the second apple.
• Using your fingertips, sprinkle the apple slices generously with the topping. Bake until the edges curl and the chips are golden and feel crisp, 40 to 45 minutes. Pull the parchment with the apples onto the work surface and cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes (the chips will crisp more as they cool).
• For the dip: In a medium bowl, stir the yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until blended. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• Serve the dip alongside the apple chips.

TOMATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Slice 1 medium firm tomato about 1/16 inch thick with a serrated knife; pat dry with paper towels (discard the end pieces). Sprinkle with salt and let sit 15 minutes, then blot the excess moisture with paper towels. Arrange in a single layer on a flat microwave-safe plate coated with cooking spray. Mist the slices with cooking spray, then microwave until they start drying out, about 6 minutes. Carefully flip; microwave until stiff and mostly dry, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer the chips to a rack to cool.

CALI-TALIAN 7 LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Combine the ricotta, sour cream, chile paste, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth. Remove to a medium bowl. In the same food processor, combine the beans, pesto, 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice and 3/4 teaspoons of the salt. Puree until smooth. Spread the bean mixture on the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Pour the ricotta mixture on top and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan over the ricotta. Sprinkle the arugula over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the sun-dried tomatoes and olives over the top. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Just before serving, toss the avocado with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and spread evenly on the top. Serve with pita chips and celery sticks.
