Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Pour canola oil in small custard cup.
Add minced garlic and allow to infuse while continuing with recipe.
Separate pita bread by slicing along seam so you have two round pieces.
Dab a pastry brush into the oil and brush on both sides of pita rounds.
In another small bowl, mix Italian seasoning and salt.
Sprinkle seasoning onto chips. A light sprinkling will do.
Cut pita bread into chip sized pieces.
Lay pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer for even browning and crisping. You`ll need to do 2-3 batches.
Place baking sheet in center rack of oven for 5 to 8 minutes until light golden brown. Watch carefully as they turn dark very quickly in the last few moments. No need to flip over crisps.
Once cooled completely, store in airtight container or bag for no more than two days.
Notes
Change up the flavor with different herbs - Rosemary Finishing Salt or chili lime salt. A touch of parmesan cheese adds even more great flavor. Try using tortilla wraps in place of pita bread.
