Pita chips

These are adapted from a hummus recipe in Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley's wonderful cookbook, Falastin. They're also a good thing to do with slightly stale pita we're not quite sure we want to eat...

  • 200 g pita bread, ripped into roughly 2-3 cm pieces
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Preheat the oven to 160 C fan.

Mix the olive oil, salt, and cumin in a bowl large enough for the pita pieces.  Add the pita pieces and mix well, until well-coated.  Sometimes I leave them to sit for a few minutes.

Spread out onto a baking sheet.  Tamimi and Wigley recommend parchment-lined (baking paper).  Bake 20-25 minutes, "or until the pita is golden and crispy."

Really, really yummy for snacking.  Oh, and also for scooping hummus.
