Baked Pita Chips

By Kathryn Washburn Breighner

A friend left me with a large bag of pita bread so I decided to do something different with them: baked pita chips. I have tried the store bought ones and love them although they are a bit pricey--worth it, though.  These took about 15 minutes start to finish.

Cut pita bread into 8 pie shaped pieces. Place them on a baking sheet. One baking sheet will hold about 16 pita pieces.  For this recipe, I used 2 large pita bread loaves to make 16 pita chips.

In a small bowl, mix together:

1/4 c olive oil
salt and pepper
dash of cayenne
1/4 t thyme

With a pastry brush, brush the oil mixture on the pita pieces. Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until the tops are browned.  Store in an airtight container--if there are any left to store!
