Time 20m

Yield 32 pieces, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 (6 inch) pita bread rounds, quartered (fresh or slightly stale, preferably whole wheat)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
2 large fresh garlic cloves, minced
coarse salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cooks Tip: For the best results, use a baking sheet that is not too dark for this recipe; otherwise, watch the pita bread carefully as it burns easily.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F.
  • Separate each pita quarter into 2 pieces.
  • Arrange in a single layer, rough side up, on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Brush evenly with the oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine the parsley, chives, and garlic.
  • Using your fingers, distribute the herb mixture evenly over the pita quarters.
  • Sprinkle evenly with coarse salt.
  • Bake on the top rack of the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the pita quarters are nicely toasted.
