Sure, here’s a quick and easy recipe for crispy pita chips that you can make in about 10 minutes:
Ingredients:
- 2 large pitas (whole wheat or regular)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, dried herbs (like oregano or thyme), or grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pitas: Split each pita into two rounds by cutting along the edge. Then, cut each round into wedges or triangles.
- Coat with olive oil: Place the pita wedges in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
- Season: Sprinkle the pita wedges with salt and any additional seasonings you desire. You can get creative here—garlic powder and paprika make a tasty combination, or try some dried herbs for a Mediterranean flair.
- Bake: Arrange the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
- Enjoy: Serve your crispy pita chips with hummus, tzatziki, salsa, guacamole, or any dip of your choice. They also make a great crunchy addition to salads or as a side for soups.
