Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat pita bread

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Pita: Cut each pita bread into triangles. You can either cut each pita in half and then into quarters, or use a pizza cutter for neat slices.

      Seasoning Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful coating.

        Coat the Pita: Add the pita triangles to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss gently until each piece is evenly coated with the oil and spices.

          Cheese Addition: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated pita triangles. Toss again to ensure the cheese clings to the pita.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the pita triangles out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't overlap.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs.

                  Enjoy: Serve these crispy pita Parmesan chips with hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite dip. They're perfect for snacking or entertaining!
