I am a fan of pita bread but always end up not using the entire package. After spending the Fourth of July with my family, I noticed my aunt making chips with pita bread and said "AH HA!" .. no more wasted pita bread. These delicious chips are quick and easy to make, healthy and have been a hit amongst my friends. They go great with hummus, salsa, cheese or vegetable dip!
Quick and Easy Chips
Serving Size: Two people
Estimated Prep Time: Five Minutes
Cook Time: Five Minutes
Ingredients
2 Pitas (You can do more, but two usually feeds two people comfortably)
Olive Oil Cooking Spray
Italian Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
1) Set your oven to HIGH BROIL.
2) Set your baking sheet on the counter.
3) Slice your pitas so you have a top and bottom.
4) Cut these in to pieces (I rip them, but cutting makes them look prettier)
5) Lay the pieces out on the baking sheet; make sure they don't overlap!
6) Spray the pieces with the Olive Oil cooking spray
7) Grab a small palm-full of Italian seasoning and sprinkle these on the chips, fairly evenly.
8) Take a pinch of salt and pepper and sprinkle these on the chips too.
9) By now, your oven should be pretty hot. Put the baking sheet in the oven. Check on these in five minutes. The chips should appear golden-to-dark brown.
BEWARE: The broiler gets very hot, so keep an eye on these guys. If the chips get too brown, they start to smoke and eventually burn which you and your roommates won't like!
I do something similar with flour tortillas for sweet cravings:
ReplyDeleteSpray tortillas w/ butter spray front and back, cut into 1/8ths with a pizza wheel. Shake with cinnamon sugar in a Ziploc bag. Bake @ 350 for 7-10 minutes, cool on aluminum foil.
They go great with almost any sort of fruit.
That sounds great James! Thanks for the advice :D
