Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges to create triangular pieces. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter for clean cuts.
Step 3
Separate the halves of each pita wedge, if possible, to make thinner crisps. This will help them bake to a lighter, crispier texture.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 5
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each pita triangle with the olive oil mixture. Arrange the triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, without overlapping.
Step 6
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pita wedges for extra flavor and crispness.
Step 7
Bake the pita crisps in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crunchy. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly in the last few minutes.
Step 8
Remove the pita crisps from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a snack, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Pair with hummus, marinara sauce, or your favorite dip for a delicious treat!
