Pita Chips and Olive Tapenade

Throw together as an easy snack or use the tapenade as a condiment for wraps, with salads, or on sandwiches.  This is NOT a recipe for people who need to follow to a T… its more a throw everything in until it tastes good to you type of thing. Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

• 1 bag whole wheat pita bread
• Olive Oil
• Garlic Salt
• Seasoning blend of choice (I like italian seasoning!)
• Black Pepper
• 2-3 tbs capers
• 16 oz Olives (I used plain old green olives but Kalamata or a blend would be YUM!)
• Lemon Juice
• Roasted garlic (chop off top of a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap in foil. throw in a 425F oven for 30-45 min until sweet, golden, and soft)

Preheat oven to 350F

Rip pita into desired chip size and lay out on baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Bake 15-20 min until desire shade of golden brown.

Drain and rinse olives. Roughly chop.

Add capers, drizzle of olive oil, splash of lemon juice, and sprinkle of pepper and season.  Mash a few closes of roasted garlic and throw those in.

Mix well, taste with a pita chip.  Adjust seasonings if necessary.
