Herbed Pita Chips

Just made some AWESOME pita chips after getting ideas from other recipes online. John LOVED them. Here's what I did*:

Ingredients:
Whole-wheat pitas (package of 6)
Oil (safflower or olive)
Dried basil
Dried oregano
Garlic powder
Salt (preferably sea salt)

Preheat oven at 400 degrees F.

1. Pull apart whole-wheat pitas (from 1 package of 6) so that you have 2 halves of each pita, for a total of 12 rounds.

2. Pull apart each round into small chip-size pieces. Not rocket science here, no scissors necessary, no perfectly cut triangles.

3. Toss these torn pita pieces in a bowl with 1/2 cup oil (I used safflower oil, but you can use olive oil). Get some salad tongs and toss them until well-covered with oil. Might be able to get away with only 1/3 cup of oil, which I'll try next time. Less oil is a good thing.

4. Get out your dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Shake the basil and oregano over the pita pieces until mostly covered, don't be shy on the amount. The pieces should be covered in flakes. Now shake the garlic powder and salt lightly on top of the basil and oregano - not nearly as much. Toss well with salad tongs and repeat a few more times, maybe 4 times.

5. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and add the pita pieces.

6. Bake 4 minutes at 400 degrees. Stir pita pieces.

7. Bake 4 more minutes. Stir.

8. Bake 2-4 more minutes. Be careful to make sure they don't brown too much or burn! I let it bake 4 minutes this last round, and they turned out ok.

9. Let cool. Then enjoy some awesome pita chips!

Servings: Um, 4?
Calories: probably a lot, given the oil.
Fat: ditto.
Taste: Awesome.

*This recipe is an example of exactly how I used to NOT do things: pinch of this, dash of that, etc. How much IS a pinch?? I hate vague recipes that assume you know what you're doing. I DON'T! That's why I'm using a recipe! But here I am, creating a Vague Recipe. Hm.
