Homemade Pita Chips
I’ve given this recipe to a number of friends and it’s great. They keep well in one of those big popcorn containers. I made these for Katie and Jim along with the hummus and Katie being the card she is, disguised her voice and called me pretending to be a police dispatcher…..oh well, you have to know Katie and these are for her. It’s hard to get good pita breads in the stores, my friend Stephanie Kanuck has brought me some from a Mediterranean bakery which are so soft and oh so good, if you are lucky enough to have these you don’t even need to toast them. Just rip up the bread and scoop up the hummus.
Ingredients
- 2-3 packages large packages of pita breads big rounds
- 1 cup butter melted
- 2-3 cloves garlic
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp parsley, dried is okay
Instructions
- Split breads in half so you have 2 large rounds. They come 8-10 in a package. I usually split a package at a time.
- Melt butter, cool and pour into blender
- Add garlic and olive oil
- Puree until garlic is well combined and notvisible
- Add parsley and mix
- Heat oven to 400° and have to large cookie sheets ready
- With a pastry brush, brush cut sides of pitas with butter mixture and stack about five together, repeat and make another stack.
- With scissors, cut into strips, triangles or any shape that is good for dipping.
- Bake in a hot over for 5-7 minutes.
- They burn easily, so keep an eye on them.
Notes
Make some of the next recipe and you’ll have enough garlic in your system to ward off everyone. (Tabbouleh…)
