Halloween is the season for some freaky playful party food. With an Ezidri Dehydrator, you can create a festive snack that’s quick, simple, healthy and guaranteed to impress: crunchy homemade pita chips paired with a striking “Blood Dip” — a beetroot-hued hummus that looks as dramatic as it tastes delicious.

What You’ll Need

•            6 Pita bread, cut into wedges

•            Olive oil spray

•            Smoked paprika or Moroccan seasoning

•            Salt to taste

•            1 tub of ready-made hummus

•            1 vacuum-packed bag of cooked beetroot (or canned beetroot, well drained)

Step 1: Make the Chips

Slice pita bread into even wedges. Lightly spray with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika or Moroccan seasoning. Arrange the wedges on your Ezidri trays in a single layer.

Step 2: Dehydrate Until Crispy

Set your dehydrator to a medium temperature (60ºc for 6 hours) and dry until golden and crunchy. The result? Fresh, homemade chips that are lighter and healthier than fried ones.

Step 3: Whip Up the “Blood Dip”

Blend the hummus and beetroot together until smooth. The beetroot gives the hummus a naturally vibrant crimson colour, spooky, fun, healthy and kid friendly.

Step 4: Serve with Style

Spoon the dip into a bowl. Arrange the pita chips around the edge of the platter, and for a Halloween touch, style with cobweb decorations and some other halloween decorations.

Why Use Ezidri?

With an Ezidri Dehydrator, making your own pita chips is effortless, no need to hover by the oven or risk uneven cooking. You’ll get consistently crisp results every time, perfect for pairing with dips and spreads all year round.
