How to Make Pita Chips

Pita chips offer a healthy alternative to potato chips, tortilla chips or other snack foods loaded with fat. They complement appetizer spreads and taste great with hummus. Here's a recipe to make your own.

Things You'll Need

• 12 Pita Pockets
• 1/2 cup Olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Black pepper
• 1 tsp. Garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp. Dried basil
• Kitchen scissors
• Kitchen brush
• Baking pan
• Non-stick spray

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Cut the pitas into 8 pieces. You may stack 2 pitas together and use kitchen scissors to quicken the process.

3. Combine olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, and basil in a bowl. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

4. Using a kitchen brush, lightly brush each small triangle of pita with the olive oil mix.

5. Spray baking sheet with a non-stick spay.

6. Arrange your chips on the sheet. Do not arrange more than 1 double layer.

7. Place the sheet in the oven. Your chips should bake for about 7 minutes. Start keeping an eye on them after 5 minutes, as they can easily burn.
