Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each pita bread into 8 triangular wedges and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
Using a pastry brush, generously coat each pita wedge with the garlic herb oil mixture on both sides.
Bake the pita toasts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Turn the wedges over halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Remove the pita toasts from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite dips, spreads, or soups.
