savory + spicy pita chips

3/20/2018

Who doesn't love pita chips? Crunchy, salty, and just spicy enough: this recipe is healthier than the storebought chips and super simple to make with only a few minimal ingredients. They're also the perfect appetizer or party snack. Serve with hummus, other dips, or just munch fresh out of the oven.

Note: You can use any type of pita bread {or even tortillas} and any seasonings you love. Here's what I did:

What you'll need:

1 package of Joseph's Flax Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread {very low carb and makes really thin + crisp chips}
2-3 tbsp olive oil

for savory + spicy chips:

1-2 tsp chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

or for "everything bagel" flavored chips:

1-2 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning {trader joe's- this stuff is the BEST}

What you'll need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use convection roast setting if you have it.
2. Use kitchen shears or clean scissors to separate pita into sheets and cut into triangles.
3. Throw pita triangles in a big bowl. Toss with 2-3 tbsp of olive oil, or until all of the pieces are lightly coated.
4. Mix desired seasonings in a smaller bowl, and then toss over pita. Mix and coat the pita triangles until spices are evenly distributed.
5. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, and evenly distribute pita so that they don't overlap.
6. Add any leftover seasonings and toss in the oven.
7. Bake for about 5-7 minutes. FLIP. Bake until crunchy and toasted.
