Here’s how to make homemade pita bread chips: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut pita bread in half and cut each half into 3 or 4 triangles. Separate each triangle so that each piece is a single layer. Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet. Brush the inside of each triangle with olive oil. Sprinkle triangles lightly with Greek seasoning. Bake pita triangles for 7 – 10 minutes or until they are golden and toasty. (Watch carefully so the pita triangles don’t burn.)
