This simple recipe uses pita breads, a cooking spray, and your favorite spice mix to create a delicious and crunchy treat that's perfect for dipping. It's an ideal snack for parties, movie nights, or just when you need a savory bite.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pita Breads:
Using a sharp knife, cut each pita bread into eighths. This can be done by first cutting the pita bread into quarters and then cutting each quarter in half.
3. Lay Out the Pita Triangles:
Arrange the pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. If you have a smaller baking sheet, you may need to do this in batches.
4. Spray with Oil:
Lightly spray the pita triangles with a short spray of cooking spray oil. Ensure that each piece gets a light coat to help the spice mix adhere and to promote crispiness.
5. Season the Pita Triangles:
Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of your preferred spice mix evenly over the pita triangles. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
6. Bake the Pita Triangles:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pita triangles are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as some ovens may vary in cooking time.
7. Cool and Serve:
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pita crisps cool on a wire rack. This helps them stay crisp.
8. Prepare Your Dip:
While the pita crisps are cooling, prepare your favorite dip. This could be hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush, or any dip of your choice.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange the cooled pita crisps on a serving platter alongside your chosen dip. Enjoy your homemade, crispy, and flavorful pita crisps!
Tips:
- Use whole wheat pita for a healthier alternative.
- Experiment with different types of spice mixes to find your favorite flavor combination.
- Cut the pita breads into even triangles to ensure they cook uniformly.
- For extra crispiness, bake the pita triangles on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.
