Crispy Pita Wedges Recipes

PARMESAN PITA CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Cut each pita bread horizontally in half, forming 2 pita disks. Brush disks with olive oil. Sprinkle disks with Parmesan cheese, then pepper. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Arrange pita wedges in single layer on large baking sheets.
• Bake until pita wedges are golden and just crisp, about 12 minutes. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cool completely. Store airtight at room temperature. Rewarm in 325°F oven about 5 minutes.)

WARM GARLIC PITAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the pitas into 6 wedges.
• In a medium saucepan, add the butter and garlic. Set over medium heat and warm through until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well.
• Place the pita wedges in a large bowl and pour the garlic butter over the top. Toss well to combine and coat everything evenly. Spread the pita wedges out evenly on a sheet tray and dust with the grated Parmesan. Bake in the oven until golden and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and taste. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve warm.

PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. Place triangles on lined cookie sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine the oil, pepper, salt, basil and chervil. Brush each triangle with oil mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and crispy. Watch carefully, as they tend to burn easily!

TOASTED PITA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut each pita bread in quarters and each quarter in half to make 8 triangles. Place them in a single layer on a sheet pan and sprinkle lightly with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes, until crisp, turning once.
