• Place triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake until crisp and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Spread on cookie sheet, in one layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they start to brown a little.

GRILLED PITA TRIANGLES

BAKED PITA TRIANGLES

Steps:

• 1. To make baked pita triangles, cut the bread into fourths using a pizza cutter. You should be able to do 4-6 at a time, stacked. Spread triangles out on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt if desired. Bake at 350-375 degrees about 8-12 minutes, until crisp but not too brown. Cool on rack; package in an air-tight container.
• 2. NOTE: you can also bake them on sheets lined with crumpled aluminum foil. Makes clean up easier, and still no turning over during baking!
