Homemade Pita Chips
Description
This recipe transforms pita bread into chips by slicing into triangle shapes and tossing with a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, and flaked sea salt. After arranging the pieces on a baking sheet, they bake in a moderate oven until edges are browned and the chips crisp up. The seasoning provides an herbal and savory aroma that enhances the simple bread base without overpowering it, making them suitable for casual snacking or serving alongside dishes like hummus or salads.
These pita chips store well at room temperature in an airtight container, maintaining freshness for a couple of days. They should not be refrigerated as this dries them out.
Using either homemade or store-bought pita bread is acceptable, with white or whole-wheat varieties working equally well. The recipe yields about four snack-sized servings, approximately one pita per serving when cut into eight pieces.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- sea salt to taste, flaked
