4 pita breads (8-inch), cut into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

1teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1. Adjust the oven racks to the upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, carefully toss the pita triangles in olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread the pita chips smooth-side down, over 2 rimmed baking sheets.

3. Bake the chips until they begin to crisp and brown lightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and flip the chips so their smooth side is up. Return the baking sheets to the oven, reversing their positions from top to bottom, and continue to bake until the chips are fully toasted, 6-8 minutes longer. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and cool the chips before serving. (The chips can be held in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If necessary, briefly re-crisp in a 300-degree oven for a few minutes before serving.)
