To make Pita Chips, first cut a bag of pitas into chip-size pieces. We use whole wheat pitas that have no added sugar or preservatives. You could even make your own if you're feeling ambitious. Place the pieces back in the bag.
Drizzle the pieces with 2-3 Tablespoons of EVOO (that's extra virgin olive oil), and sprinkle generously with AE's Seasoning Salt (scroll down this link for the how-to).
Hold the top of the bag closed and shake vigorously until all the chip pieces are coated with EVOO and seasoning salt. All of my children love this part. Here Rainbow is taking her turn. Bake at 350 degrees until the chips reach your desired crispiness. I guess they are technically supposed to be totally crispy, but we like a few soft spots.
We slice some apples and carrots and make a meal out of pita chips... a really cheap meal considering that I can find the pitas on sale for $1 a bag. (Rule of thumb: buy all you can and keep them in the freezer!) Or, if you're having company, they make a delicious appetizer with hummus.

Mmm...we love pita chips, but have only made it once ourselves. Thanks for the reminder to do it again! Your recipe is so easy too; it's perfect.

ooo, sounds yummy. I've been making my own pitas and this would be a great way to use the last few that get left over.
These sound fabulous! I can't wait to try them!
