Fresh Baked Pita Chips are a popular snack in the Mediterranean region, especially in Greece and the Middle East, where they are commonly used as a side dish in a traditional Arabic breakfast. These chips are much healthier than the regular potato chips and make for an excellent alternative. They are versatile and can be used with dips, salad toppings, or even as a substitute for bread on sandwiches. The pita bread used in this recipe is made with flour and yeast, making it a good source of carbohydrates.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2.	Cut the pita bread into small triangles.
3.	Arrange the triangles in a baking tray and spray them with cooking spray.
4.	Sprinkle kosher salt over the pita triangles.
5.	Bake the pita chips for 10-15 minutes until they turn golden brown.
