Home › Bridal Shower Menu › Baked Pita ChipsIf you’re looking for something to replace potato or corn chips, then baked pita chips are a great choice. Especially with dips like hummus or guacamole!

I first made these to go to a potluck housewarming party. I’d made some hummus, and I was looking for something special to go with it. Well, these were good. In fact, they were one of the first things to go… And that’s always a good feeling!

They’re super easy to make, so try them out. I’m sure you’ll love them!

Baked Pita Chips

Preparation Time: 10m Cooking Time: 6m Total Time: 20m

Servings

Serves 8.

Ingredients

8 pita breads
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried chervil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Mix the oil, garlic powder, basil, chervil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush each pita bread with the oil and spice mixture.
Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles, and arrange them on a cookie sheet.
Bake the pita in the preheated oven for about 6 minutes, or until the pita chips are light brown and crispy.

Tips

Some pita breads are really small, and another are much bigger. If you have really big pita breads to work with, you may need some extra of the oil and spice mixture.
One of the great things about this baked pita chips recipe is how easy it is to tweak. Just replace the spices with any other spice you like!
- Lots of spices taste great on pita chips. You can try cumin, oregano, dried parsley, fennel, or even just plain old salt and pepper.
I try not to use too much oil when I make pita chips. I don’t really like it when the chips get too oily, and I use the oil more as a way to get the spices to stick to the bread. But you can increase the amount of oil if you prefer it that way.
You can use regular or whole wheat pita breads for this recipe. I prefer whole wheat myself, but it all comes down to what you like best!
If you’re not going to eat them all at once or you need to bring them somewhere, you can store the pita chips in an airtight container. They’ll stay nice and crispy!

Home › Vegetable Recipes › Baked Asparagus Recipe

This baked asparagus recipe makes an amazing side dish that’s great any time of year. It keeps the asparagus fresh tasting, and you can let it be just as crisp or tender as you like it.

What I like best about it is that it’s so easy to prepare. Just snap the ends off the asparagus, throw the spears in a baking dish and toss them with the rest of the ingredients. And then, put it in the oven and wait for it to be done. It couldn’t be easier, which makes it a perfect accompaniment for a more complicated meal.

Although I do like this particular baked asparagus recipe, there are so many ways to make baked asparagus that are just as good. Check out our article on roasted asparagus for more details – you can make your own roasted asparagus recipes, that are just right for you.

Baked Asparagus

Baked Asparagus Recipe - Roasted Asparagus With Garlic

Preparation Time: 5m Cooking Time: 15m Total Time: 20m

Servings

Serves 5.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
coarse sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. You can snap them off, or trim off an inch or two with a knife.
Place the asparagus in a baking dish large enough to hold all the asparagus in a single layer.
Add the oil and garlic to the asparagus, and toss it all together until the spears are all coated.
Sprinkle the asparagus with a bit of sea salt.
Bake the asparagus in the preheated oven until they’re as done as you like them.
- Thin spears can take 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how crisp or tender you like them, while thicker spears can take 10 to 25 minutes to cook.
- If you’re not sure how long it’ll take, just test a piece every so often and see if it’s cooked to your liking. Just be careful not to burn yourself!
Serve hot, and enjoy!

Tips

You can serve the asparagus cold, too. Just be sure to dunk it in cold or ice water, otherwise its internal heat will continue to cook it. Just a short dip (20s or so) will shock the asparagus, and keep you from getting overcooked veggies.
This baked asparagus recipe is super versatile. Try adding fresh cracked black pepper, or topping the cooked asparagus with a bit of lemon juice, or Parmesan or even feta. It transforms the dish into something new, but just as good.
