- 4 slices pita bread white or whole wheat (I use Papa Pita brand)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or as needed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, granulated garlic (or garlic powder), parsley, and salt. Set aside.
Lightly brush both sides of pita rounds with olive oil. Sprinkle the top side of each piece with the Parmesan garlic seasoning mixture. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut each round into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on an ungreased, rimmed baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. The Pita Chips will continue to crisp up after being removed from the oven. Serve while still slightly warm.
When completely cooled, pita chips can be stored in an airtight container or zippered plastic storage bag.
