Tasty Baked Pita Crisps

Tasty Pita Crisps: A great little snack on their own, with soups or as a cracker substitute for dipping in hummus and tatziki!  I have seen these made before, but didn't follow a recipe for this one...so bear with me as I try to remember what I did!

round pita bread
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp of rosemary
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 300. I had only one medium pita round left in the bag, so I divided it in order to have two think rounds.  I took some kitchen scissors and cut them into triangles and placed them on parchment paper on a baking sheet.  In a small prep bowl, I mixed the olive oil, dry mustard and half of the rosemary.  Using a silicone basting brush, I brushed the mixture on top of each triangle.  Then I sprinkled the remaining rosemary and salt and pepper on top before baking for 4 minutes.  After 4 minutes, I changed the oven to broil and broiled the tops for another minute only.  This method produced crisps that were still a little chewy and not overdone.


Variations would be to add garlic powder or parmesan cheese to the mixture.  Forget buying the overpriced flavoured ones in the store, these are so fast and easy to make - there's no excuse! I can't wait to make them again - and neither can Rob!!!
