Easy Pita chips recipe

This is a super easy recipe for a healthy little snack. I used to nanny for a vegetarian family and all the snacks we prepared for them were either organic, homemade or all natural. So we made pita chips probably once a week for their snacks. My friend Robin taught me how to make these, So thank you Robin.

You'll need:
Pita bread (with the pockets)
Olive oil cooking spray
Garlic salt

Preheat the oven to 350.  You can use White or Whole Wheat pita bread. I used whole wheat from trader Joe's although I would suggest using white the first time or two until you figure out how well done you like it or how evenly your oven bakes.

Olive Oil cooking spray: Olive oil is suggested but any cooking spray works. I recently started using a Misto and I really like it! No aerosol spray and I feel like it is cheaper in the long run because you just use your own olive oil.  

Garlic salt: Any garlic salt works. I make my own with a mixture of Sea salt, garlic powder, and a bit of parsley. (Sometimes i like to know what going into my body, thus I like making it).

First: cut each of your pita bread into 6 triangles

Second pull apart the pocket like so. (example per pita you should end up with 12 triangles)

Next lay out your triangles/chips on a cookie sheet with the inside pockets facing up. Then spray tops with olive oil spray, sprinkle with garlic salt to your liking. I like to sprinkle extra parsley on the tops.
(Also can we talk about how I have a Mustard yellow stove? I'm kind of a fan of it, haha)

Set a timer for 8-10 minutes and place in the oven to bake. Like i said, it would be wise to check them periodically to make sure they don't burn because they can be a little temperamental depending on how every oven bakes. repeat until all pita chips are baked.

Lastly, set back and enjoy your chips. Perfect for little ones.
Its a good substitute for those Doritos you've been craving (or was that me?)

They easily store in an old pickle jar or any container with a seal to keep fresh.

You can change up the recipe and use cinnamon sugar instead of garlic salt for a sweet snack. Or any other combination of seasonings. Get creative! I'd love to hear what you come up with.

Hope all that was simple enough and I hope i didn't rattle on too much. Enjoy making these!

Keep it classy!
