Baked Pita Chips

 

I bought two packages of pitas from the "day-old-bread" section for $1, knowing I could put them to good use.  Turns out I was right.  These pita chips were easy to make (so easy that my five year old did it-- hence the uneven seasoning, but hey... I won't turn down the help. :) and they became the quick tasty star of our dish.  Delish!  (*Also great for dips like hummus etc.)

12 pita bread pockets

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon granulated garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian herbs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

Combine pepper, garlic, salt, onion powder, and herbs in a small bowl. Brush the pita with olive oil.

Cut each pita into triangles (like slicing a pizza).

Sprinkle with or toss in seasoning mixture.Place triangles on lined baking sheet.

Bake for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Keep an eye on them - they go from perfect to burnt in a matter of seconds.
