Garlic Pita Bread Bites

• Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F while you are cutting your pita bread rounds into equal quarters.
• Brush the tops of your cut pita breads with olive oil and rub the minced garlic onto the bread so the flavor can be infused.
• Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper, and paprika to your liking. You can also add Italian seasoning on top for a more enhanced taste.
• Place the prepared pita breads onto a lined baking sheet so you can bake them for 10 to 15 minutes or until the bread has become lightly toasted and crispy.

If you want your bread pieces to be super crispy, almost like crackers, you will need to split the quarters so they are separated and toast them singularly. Shorten the baking time and take them out of the oven when the pita has toasted well around its edges.

If you want the garlic flavor to be strong, you will need to leave pieces of garlic cloves on top of the bread after seasoning so they can roast and crisp up in the oven while your bread is baking.
