These crispy herb pita chips are a delightful snack, perfect for dipping or enjoying on their own.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Cut each pita bread into two halves, then separate each half into two layers.
Using a sharp knife makes it easier to separate the layers cleanly.
Brush the rough side of each pita layer with olive oil.
A light coating of oil is sufficient to help the seasonings stick.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried basil, cayenne pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the oiled sides.
Distribute the seasonings evenly for consistent flavor.
Arrange the pita pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Avoid overlapping the pieces to ensure they bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on the chips towards the end to prevent burning.
Allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Cooling helps the chips become crispier.
Serve the chips as is or with your favorite dips.
Pair with a variety of dips for a versatile snack.
