Low-fat pita crisps

Low-fat pita crisps are a healthy and delicious snack option that are simple to prepare. These crispy bites are perfect for dipping into your favorite hummus or enjoying on their own. With just a few ingredients and minimal cooking time, you can create a tasty treat that's both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients:

4 pita breads
240g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 tsp paprika
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pita Breads:
- Place the pita breads on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. You should end up with 32 triangles in total.
3. Apply Cooking Spray:
- Arrange the pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. If necessary, use multiple baking sheets or bake in batches to ensure the pita triangles do not overlap.
- Lightly spray the pita triangles with the cooking spray oil. Ensure each triangle gets an even mist of oil.
4. Season with Paprika:
- Evenly sprinkle the paprika over the oiled pita triangles. For an even coating, you can use a small sieve or simply pinch and sprinkle with your fingers, making sure all triangles are well seasoned.
5. Bake:
- Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita crisps are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as ovens may vary in baking time.
6. Cool:
- Once baked, remove the baking sheet(s) from the oven.
- Let the pita crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the cooled pita crisps to a serving bowl or platter.
- Enjoy your low-fat pita crisps with your favorite dips, such as hummus, tzatziki, or guacamole.

Tips:

- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt or other spices like garlic powder or cumin before baking.

- Make sure the pita pieces are spread out evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy for a few days.

- If you prefer a finer, more even coating of paprika, consider using a sifter or fine mesh sieve to sprinkle it over the pita pieces.

In just a few easy steps, you can create a batch of low-fat pita crisps that are perfect for snacking. They are a healthier alternative to traditional chips and can be customized with your favorite seasonings. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for later – either way, these crisps are sure to be a hit.
