Servings: 6 cups
Ingredients
- 6 pita bread it should be the thin pita bread that you can open to form pita pockets
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit
- Cut the pita bread into 1 inch strips using a sharp knife or scissors and then cut each strip into a pieces approx 1 ½ inches in size. Add all of the pita strips to a large bowl
- Drizzle the olive oil over the pita pieces and toss with your hands to ensure that they all get coated in the oil and then add in all of the seasonings. Continue to toss with your hands to ensure everything is coated.
- Arrange the pita chips on a large baking sheet, it’s ok if they overlap but I recommend choosing a baking sheet as large as possible for the most even cooking.
- Transfer to the oven to bake for 15 minutes, flip all of the pita chips around half way through cooking to prevent pieces from burning.
- Store in an airtight container.
