Ground Kosher Salt
Spiced Pita Chips
INGREDIENTS:
2 pieces of white pita bread
2 Tbsp. of Extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp. of smoked paprika or other favorite spice
Several grinds of freshly ground black pepper
Coarse sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets with foil. Cut pita bread into 8 triangles and then separate each piece by using your hands or a knife. You will end up with 16 triangles from each piece of bread.
Place each triangle on the prepared baking sheets.
For the garlic pitas - Put the garlic basting oil into a small bowl.
For the spices pita chips - put the 2 Tbsp. of oil, smoked paprika, and black pepper into a small bowl. Use a spoon to stir well. Take 1/2 tsp. of the garlic oil or spiced oil and then place a little of the oil onto the pitas and spread (you should be able to oil 4 triangles with the 1/2 tsp.). Continue this process until the tops of each triangle are spread with the oil. If making the garlic pitas, use a salt grinder to grind salt over the tops of each one. If making the spiced pitas, sprinkle a little bit of coarse sea salt over each one. Flip each one over, and repeat with the oiling and salting. Put pan into the oven. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes, then take out of oven and flip each piece over. Place back in oven for another 4 - 5 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool slightly before snacking!
Eat plain or serve with homemade hummus.
