Quick Pita Chips

Quick Pita Chips are easy to make and are prefect for snacking.

Pictures and recipe updated July 2018

I purchased a large bag of pita flat bread at Costco.  I was thinking they were pita pockets, but they had no pocket!

I decided to make these into chips so they wouldn’t go to waste.  You can use any kind of pita bread – even the ones with pockets. You can use store bought pita bread or make your own pita bread! 

All you need is pita bread, olive oil and salt. You could easily add herbs or garlic to  suit your tastes.

I like to eat these chips with my homemade Roasted Garlic Hummus. But they’d be equally delicious with Beet Hummus too!

Instructions

1. Brush eat pita bread with a light coating of olive oil.

Recipe Notes

Baking time varies depending on thickness of pita bread.
