I've always enjoyed pita chips but shopping for them as a low-fat vegan can be a challenge. This week I found some "legal" pita pockets at Kroger and later got the idea that I might could make some chips out of them. I did a Google search and got some ideas. Here's what I did: as you can see, the ones I bought were already cut in half. I cut each piece in 4 pieces - then split them front and back with a sharp knife - laid them on a baking sheet cut side up (that would be the inside of the pita pocket), lightly misted them with a water bottle, and very lightly went over the entire pan with my fresh ground sea salt. Baked them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes until they were lightly browned and - voila! Really delicious pita chips! I could see using other spices and herbs on these for different flavorings - garlic would be nice - maybe even a little Splenda and cinnamon for a sweet variation. Anyway, you get the idea. I served these up with some baba ganoush and took them to a gathering. We will definitely do this again.
