Whole Wheat Pita Crisps
I love a homemade pita crisp. Our local gourmet deli, Sunterra, make great homemade pita crisps but they cost a fortune. Making them ourselves is a lot cheaper and so easy. These Whole Wheat Pita Crisps went great with the Edamame Guacamole I made the other day.
Lightly salted but full of flavor, these Whole Wheat Pita Crisps are as healthy as you make them. You control what goes on them. They are great for any dip, salsa or spread. They stand up to thicker dips too and don’t break as easily as tortilla chips.

Love that you created your own pita chips. I have done that before too and they are so good made at home. Just don’t tell people it is easy! LOL

This is how I make mine all the time. I learned it at a cooking class years ago. I’ve never put basil on mine though. I can’t wait to try that!
