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!
