Crispy pita chips are a simple yet sophisticated Italian snack that pairs perfectly with dips, cheese, or antipasti. The origins of this recipe trace back to Mediterranean cuisine, where pita was used to create various dishes. Baked to a golden crunch, these thin slices of pita are infused with the aroma of olive oil, giving them a rich, slightly nutty flavor. They can be served as a standalone snack, used to create appetizing canapés, or even as a crunchy side for soups and salads. The simplicity of preparation makes them an ideal option for a quick bite or an elegant appetizer at a party.
