Ingredients
- 6 (each about 1 oz/30 g) whole wheat pitas
- ¼ (50 ml) cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp (25 ml) minced green onion (white and light green parts only)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh basil leaves (or 1 tsp/5ml dried)
- ¼ (1 ml) tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
- Large rimmed baking sheet, ungreased
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Cut pitas into quarters. Separate the top and bottom pieces. Place on baking sheet in a single layer, without overlapping if possible. Lightly brush with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with green onion, basil, salt and pepper.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until light brown and crisp. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before serving or storing (see Notes below).
Variation
Use 1 tsp (5 ml) garlic salt instead of sea salt, flavored oils instead of olive oil or any herb of your choice instead of basil, following the proportions in this recipe.
Notes
* Pitas vary in thickness; some have sides that are twice as thick as others. If this is the case, remove thin chips from the pan with a metal spatula as they are done, leaving the thicker ones to cook longer.
* In many locations, green onions are known as scallions.
* These chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

My husband loves flat bread chips and picks them up at our local health food shop every chance he gets. He will love the fact I can make them at home too. I am sure that once he knows I have the recipe, he will be after me to get started. Thank you for sharing this with us.
