Another way to flavor them is to make them into a sweet snack by using butter instead of oil and cinnamon sugar instead of the garlic and salt. Both are very tasty options! You’ll see how easy they are to make, too!

Crunchy Garlic Baked Pita Chips

recipe by Christina Conte (measurements are not critical)

Ingredients

• some pita bread (the kind which makes a pocket when cut in half)
• extra virgin olive oil
• freshly minced garlic
• Kosher or sea salt
• (optional: garlic salt or granulated garlic powder)

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)

Carefully slice each pita in half horizontally, then cut into eighths using a pizza cutter.

Arrange the pieces on a cookie sheet then put the oil mixture together.

Add the minced garlic, salt, and garlic powder (if using) to the oil and stir together.

Using a pastry brush, brush the bread with the oil on both sides. Just add more oil to the bowl if you don’t have enough. Next, sprinkle the salt and garlic powder on top of both sides of the oil brushed pita pieces.

Place the baking tray (or trays) in the preheated oven and bake for about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn each chip over and continue to bake for another 5 minutes or so. You can decide how dark and crunchy you like them. This is how I like them~

Allow to cool completely before placing in a tin or sealable bag. Serve on their own or with hummus or your favorite dip.
