You can make your own tasty pita chips in a matter of minutes. Just cut pita bread into wedges (stale pitas work very well), brush them with a little olive oil and bake. Not only do homemade pita chips save you money, you'll also cut calories by 16 percent.

Ingredients

Directions

  • Position oven racks in middle and lower third of oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat 2 large baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

    Advertisement

  • Cut pitas into 8 wedges each and separate each wedge at the fold. Place the pita wedges, rough-side up, in an even layer on the prepared baking sheets. Brush with oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and salt.

  • Bake the pita wedges, switching the baking sheets halfway through, until golden and crispy, 6 to 10 minutes (depending on the thickness).

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.

Perfect addition! These were incredibly easy and delicious. I used a McCormicks Italian Seasoning grinder and just ground the seasonings over the chips. I served with EatingWell's Chopped Greek Salad for Two (http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/chopped_greek_salad_with_chicken_for_two.html) and store bought roasted red pepper hummus. They were the perfect addition to an already healthy and delicious meal. When we finished dinner my husband informed me that I needed to add both recipes to our keep pile. I will definitely be making these again. Pros: Super easy! Cons: None Read More
