Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat pita breads

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it's heating up, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Pita: Take each pita bread and cut it into 8 wedges for traditional chips. If you prefer a thinner, crispier chip, cut each wedge in half diagonally to form triangles.

      Season the Chips: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and freshly cracked pepper until combined. Add the pita wedges to the mixture, tossing gently but thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil.

        Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned pita wedges. Toss once more until all wedges are well-coated, ensuring a cheesy crust on each chip.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Carefully spread the pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none overlap. This step is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Keep a close watch on them as they bake, looking for golden brown edges. Remove them promptly to avoid burning.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, take the chips out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. For added freshness and color, garnish with finely chopped parsley.

                Enjoy: Serve your crispy pita Parmesan chips warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite dips like hummus, salsa, or tzatziki.
