Crispy, golden, and oh-so-simple, these homemade pita chips are the perfect quick snack!

Equipment
- Microwave
- Large plate
Ingredients
- Leftover pita bread pocket-style
Instructions
- Cut pita bread into small triangles, about the size of regular chips.
- Carefully open the pita pocket to separate each triangle into two thinner triangles.
- Arrange the triangles in a single layer on a large microwave-safe plate. Avoid overlapping the pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Microwave the pita pieces for 1 minute. Check for crunchiness, and if not fully crisp, microwave in 30-second increments until desired texture is reached.
- Serve and enjoy with your favorite dip or as a standalone snack!
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, or sea salt before microwaving.
- Be sure to monitor closely to prevent burning as microwaves vary in power.
