Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each piece of whole wheat pita bread into 8 wedges like a pizza. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil over the pita wedges and use a brush or your fingers to spread it evenly.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and scatter them across the pita crisps.
Chop the Kalamata olives, and sprinkle them over the pita wedges.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the pita wedges.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper over the pizza crisps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the pita wedges are crisp and the cheese is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
Before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve warm as a delightful snack or appetizer.
