Since I had some extra time on my hands yesterday, I finally got around to trying to make Pita Chips at home. You can usually find different varieties of pita chips in your grocer’s deli, but they can be a bit pricey, considering the amount you get, roughly 18 oz. for about $3.00. So, when I was shopping last week, I saw whole wheat pita bread on sale for $1.00 for 12 oz. So, I thought, what the heck I’ll give it a try. Here’s what I did…
Cut the Pita bread into triangles and arrange on a baking sheet.

**Note** I think next time, I will also separate the pita pockets, before I cut them so the chips will be more crisp.
Then, drizzle a small amount of olive oil on each piece and brush to make sure they are covered.
Last, generously sprinkle with garlic salt. You could also add other flavors, like Parmesan cheese.
Pop them in the oven to bake at 450 degrees for 8 minutes, flipping them over once in the middle of baking.
These turned out great! The kiddos love them and they are a healthy alternative to potato chips. It’s also a quick and simple recipe, and frugal!
