Chips Ahoy!


Ever realize that the bag of chips you intended to buy had never made it to your shopping cart but the guacamole and salsa did? Have no fear, here's a yummy emergency remedy that's sure to please your taste buds: home made pita chips! I always freeze real pita bread and whip out a few in situations like this, it's soooo simple. Here's the "how-to" courtesy of my gourmet friend who let me help her party prep.


1. Take the pita bread, cut along rim and separate the top and bottom surface as if you were making a burger bun.

2. Lightly brush both the smooth side of the bread with olive oil.

3. Sprinkle lightly with salt.

4. Cut the bread into tenths (so you end up with 10 little triangles that really look like pita chips) and lay on baking sheet.

5. Bake in oven lightly (about 300F) for a few min. till they lightly toast. Turn chips over and bake the other side (total bake time is less than 4-5 min, so don't take your eyes off!)

Munch!
