Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them or crush them with a garlic press.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with the olive oil. Mix thoroughly to ensure the garlic is evenly distributed in the oil.
- Lay out the pita breads on a clean surface or a large baking sheet.
- Using a pastry brush, generously brush each side of the pita breads with the garlic-olive oil mixture.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano over each pita bread, ensuring even coverage.
- Finish by adding a dash of salt to each pita bread for extra flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, place it on the stove over medium-high heat until hot.
- Once the grill or grill pan is heated, place the pita breads on the grilling surface.
- Grill each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and have nice grill marks. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove the grilled pita breads from the grill and let them cool slightly.
- Cut them into wedges or serve whole as desired.
- Serve the grilled pita breads warm as a side, appetizer, or accompaniment to your favorite dips and spreads.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, allow the garlic-oregano olive oil mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes before using, so the flavors meld together.
- Use fresh garlic for a more intense taste, but if you're short on time, garlic powder can be a convenient alternative.
- Grill the pita bread on a medium-high heat to avoid burning while achieving a nice crisp texture.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the pita bread just after removing from the grill.
- If you prefer a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture.
