Pita Chips


So this post has been delayed for...a long time. I've been making pita chips for a few years now, and they are usually eaten with our kabobs in the summertime--but they're great to eat with anything! They're so easy to make, and tasty to eat. Here's the recipe:

Homemade Pita Chips


pita bread
olive oil
garlic salt

Cut pita rounds into wedges; we like to cut each into 6 pieces, but if you prefer wider or narrower chips, experiment and find what you like. (Note: using a (sharp) pizza cutter is the most efficient way to cut the pitas).

Place the wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer. Brush one side lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. At this point, you can add any other spices of your choosing if you so desire.

Bake the pita wedges in the oven until a light golden brown color. The temperature of the oven can vary from 450 to broil; just make sure you watch them carefully to prevent burning. You don't need to turn them, and they only take about 5 minutes or so to bake.

Thank you Shannon! I know it's simple, but I need it written down because I'm crazy like that:)
