# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Slice each pita bread into 8 triangles. Arrange on a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Bake for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.

05 - In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add the edamame mixture, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), red onion, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined and creamy, leaving some texture if desired.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Serve the guacamole immediately with cooled pita chips.
