The good news is that you know what you’re eating with these homemade pita chips, and you can make them to taste. Personally, I like a bit of flavour so I tend to go a bit heavy on things like chilli and pepper, but how much you use is up to you.

 

Finally, it’s a great use of surplus food. We’re such a wasteful society and it’s a good thing to use up what we have and not throw it out. So, off my soapbox and into the kitchen!

Zingy homemade pita chips

So how many times have you bought a bag of flatbreads from the supermarket only to find yourself using one or two from a pack of five? Recently on a trip to Costco, a two-pack (10 flatbreads) cost just $5 so with plenty surplus to our requirements, it was time for some homemade pita chips. These are so easy and tasty you'll wonder why you never made them sooner.
