"Here is a quick and easy recipe for making pitta chips for serving with your favorite hummus.  You will be able to prepare the hummus while baking the chips, and both will be ready in about 30 minutes."

 

• Ready In: 26mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Yields: 104 Pitta Chips
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 pita breads
• 1 tablespoon olive oil flavored cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning

directions

1. Start the oven to bake at 350 degrees.
2. Cut one pitta bread in half.  Cut each half in half.  Cut each quarter in half.  You will now have eight strips, each about 1/2 inch wide.  Cut the two outside strips into 2 chips each for a total of 4 chips.  Cut the next two outside strips into 3 equal chips for a total of 6 chips.  Cut the last four strips into four equal chips for a total of 16 chips.  Repeat cutting the remaining three pitta breads in the same manner as the first.  The total number of chips cut will be 104.
3. Tightly arrange the pitta chips on a 17.25 inch x 11.5 inch, or larger, baking sheet.  Spray the olive oil evenly over the chips.  Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning evenly over the chips.  Place the baking sheet in the oven and set the timer for 16 minutes.  After baking, remove the baking sheet and scrape the chips into a one quart container and allow to cool.
4. While the pitta chips are baking, make your favorite hummus.  If you have prepared all the ingredients for the hummus, you should be able to make the hummus while the chips are baking.  Both hummus and pitta chips should be ready in about 30 minutes.
