Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat pita breads

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sea salt, to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs like parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Pitas: Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges, just like you would slice a pizza. This should give you a total of about 32 chips.

      Make the Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well until you have a smooth mixture.

        Coat the Pita Wedges: In a large bowl, add the pita wedges and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Toss the wedges until they are evenly coated with the mixture.

          Add the Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pita wedges and toss again, ensuring that each wedge is well-covered. The cheese will add a delightful crispiness.

            Bake: Spread the coated pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets. Taste and sprinkle with additional sea salt if desired. For a touch of freshness, garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs.

                Enjoy: Serve your Crispy Pita Parmesan Chips warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack, appetizer, or party treat!
