Recipe: Home-Baked Garlic Pita Chips

Make your own pita chips! They’re crunchy and delicious — and making them yourself is a great way to cut down on added ingredients from processing.

You can flavor them with your favorite spices. Try dried rosemary, garlic powder and thyme; a mix of Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper and garlic powder; or some new combination. You can lower sodium by using a low-sodium version of tortillas.

Ingredients

• 1 sprouted grain wrap or whole wheat tortilla cut into 8 triangles
• Olive oil (to brush on)
• Spices as desired

Preparation

1. Brush wrap or tortilla with olive oil.
2. Sprinkle spices, flavorings (and salt if desired). Ideas include: Parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. You can sprinkle with any type of seasoning.
3. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.

They toast up quickly so be careful to watch carefully to make sure they don’t burn.
