How to Make Pita Chips

The following is a fast and easy method for toasting pita chips:

1. If possible, buy high quality pita from a Middle Eastern store. It's far superior to supermarket pita.

2. Cut pita slices in half, then in half again, then in half again. (In other words, cut into eight pieces.) Then separate top from bottom - to make two separate pieces. So for each whole slice of pita, you will end up with 16 chips.

3. Preheat oven to 375°

4. Place pita chips on cookie sheet and sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper. (If you'd like, you could use spices like za'atar or any combination of spices that suits your fancy.)

5. Bake for 4 minutes. Chips should be crisp. If not, add a minute or two.
