Spicy Pita Chips

Spicy Pita Chips
  MAKES 24 CHIPS
  I love the spice and texture of these whole-wheat pita chips alone or with one of the dips in this chapter. Making them at home is easy, and it saves money, and allows you to control the ingredients.

3   whole-wheat pita breads, each cut into 8 triangles

 Olive oil cooking spray

1   teaspoon chili powder

1   teaspoon ground cumin

1   teaspoon ground cinnamon

½teaspoon ground coriander

½teaspoon garlic powder

¼   teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼   teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

⅛   teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the pita triangles on a baking sheet and spray on both sides with cooking oil spray. Combine all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and stir well to blend. Add the pita wedges and toss to coat. Spread the seasoned chips in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle with any remaining spice mix.
  Bake for about 15 minutes, tossing once, or until the chips are brown and crisp. Cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
