Homemade Pita Chips

I'm always amazed at how many of my recipes still aren't on this blog. They always seem to be the ones I made on a regular basis or the ones that are hugely popular with friends and family. I've been making these pita chips for years. They are one of Eric's favorites. My mom is hooked on them. They are simple to make, you can easily change up the flavor, and they're perfect for hummus (or any other dips!).

Now, this is kind of a non-recipe. No measures, just ingredients and directions.

Ingredients:
pita bread
olive oil
seasonings (I usually use garlic powder and a dash of cayenne pepper)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Either spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or lay a piece of parchment paper on it.

Pour some olive oil into a small bowl, add seasonings to taste, and mix to combine. Cut the pita bread into 6 or 8 wedges, depending on how large you want your chips. Separate each wedge into two pieces. With pastry brush (or your fingers) lightly coat each side of the pita bread with the olive oil mixture and place on the cookie sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the chips turn a golden brown. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
