Garlic chips made from pita are a crunchy delicacy rooted in Yugoslav cuisine. A simple yet genius combination of aromatic garlic, olive oil, and coriander infuses thin slices of pita, creating a unique flavor with spicy and nutty notes. Baked to a golden crispy crust, these chips are perfect as a snack or side dish. They can be served with various dips, from yogurt dip to classic hummus, making them a versatile addition to any table. Garlic chips are not just a tasty treat but also a piece of Balkan gastronomic tradition where garlic is valued for its powerful flavor and health benefits.
