Homemade Pita Chips
Homemade Pita Chips are made by cutting pita bread into triangles, coating them with olive oil seasoned with garlic powder, dried thyme, and sea salt, then baking until lightly browned and crisp. These snacks offer a fragrant, crunchy bite that can serve as a casual snack or an accompaniment to dips and spreads. The chips retain a slight softness inside if not overbaked, creating a pleasing texture contrast.
