Pita Chips

Quick, easy and useful with all sort of the dips this recipe is super adaptable.

Ingredients

• 1 Bag of Pita Bread pockets(buying day old doesn't hurt to keep costs down if you're making tons)
• Olive Oil
• Spices

Method

• Cut the pita bread in half by slicing around the edge, you should have two circles, each with a rough inside and a smoother outside

• Slice into triangles (or strips if you prefer) if you have a sharp pizza cutter I find stacking 3 or 4 of them and pushing through works well for speed cutting.

• With someone helping you hopefully to speed things up, use pastry brushes to brush the rough side of the triangles with a healthy amount of olive oil, then lay on a baking sheet

• Sprinkle chips with your chosen spices (see below)

• Bake at 350 or using a broil setting until they're done. They turn golden brown

Yield

• One bag of pita pockets = a fairly large bowl of chips

Serving Suggestions

• With Tzatziki
• With Taramasalata
• As the foundation crispy bit for Chaat
• With other tasty dips, they're great with a reasonably creamy Spinach Dip as well
• On their own they're a tasty reasonably healthy snack, especially with whole grain pita.

Spice Suggestions

• Good Salt
• Fresh Ground pepper
• I use a salt/garlic/pepper blend
• Montreal Steak Spice
• dried dill
• Garam Masala (great if you're using these for Chaat or other indian type things)
