Recipe: Spiced Pita Chips (using garlic, cayenne and cumin, baked)

SPICED PITA CHIPS



Makes 32 chips, 6 to 8 servings
PREP TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 20 minutes

3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 pitas, cut into 8 wedges each

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, cayenne, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the pita wedges and toss gently to coat. Spread in a single layer on 2 baking sheets.

Bake, tossing once, until the wedges are browned and crisp at the edges, but still very slightly soft in the center (the chips will harden as they cool), 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness of pita). Note: If you like a crunchier chip, bake for a few more minutes, until there is no softness in the center.

Cool completely before serving
