Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat pitas

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

½ teaspoon sea salt

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). To make cleanup a breeze, line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Pitas: Gently split each whole wheat pita into two halves, resulting in a total of 8 thinner pita rounds ready for crisping.

      Season the Pita Rounds: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, optional red pepper flakes, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Using a pastry brush, generously coat both sides of each pita round with the flavorful mixture.

        Cheese It Up: Arrange the seasoned pita halves on the lined baking sheets. Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each pita round, ensuring an even layer for that perfect cheesy finish.

          Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Keep a vigilant eye on them to ensure they achieve a golden brown crispiness without burning.

            Cool and Garnish: Once baked, carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven. Allow the pita chips to cool on the trays for a few minutes — they'll become even crisper as they cool down.

              Serve with Style: Transfer your crispy pita Parmesan chips to a serving platter. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley for a fresh touch, and pair them with your favorite dips like creamy hummus or refreshing tzatziki for an irresistible snack.
