Lunchbox snack – homemade pita chips

I hadn’t made these homemade pita chips for a very long time. I forgot how easy to make they are and how tasty they are. The kids loved them and have requested I make them more often.

Of course these are not only perfect for school lunches, but they are a fab homemade finger food for entertaining at home or to take with you on occasions when you need to take a plate.

You can easily switch up the herbs and spices you use on the pita chips to suit the tastes of your family.

I found it easiest to cut the Lebanese breads with a pizza cutter.
