Pita Bread Appetizers

To make Cinnamon Crisp Pita Appetizers, you will need:
two pita bread rounds (white or whole wheat)
nonstick cooking spray (butter flavored)
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Here what you'll do:
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
While it's heating up, cover your baking sheets with aluminum foil.
Next, split your pita bread so you have 4 rounds from your 2, and then cut each round into wedges of six.
Now it's time to get your spray out - coat each side of the wedges, and place them on your baking sheet.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and then sprinkle over your pita wedges, carefully coating each.
Finally, pop it in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

What you need:
two pita rounds (white or whole wheat)
olive oil
garlic powder
onion powder
oregano

What to do:
Pre-heat oven to 400 F.
Split two pita rounds in half, and then cut into wedges.
Brush the tops of pita breads with olive oil.
Combine 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder,, dash of oregano, and sprinkle on pita tops.
Bake for 12 - 14 minutes, until crispy.

Cut carbs on typical crostini recipes by using pita bread instead of French bread!

What you'll need:
pita bread (white or whole wheat)
olive oil
red, green, yellow and orange peppers (or other vegetables)
goat cheese

What you'll do:
First, brush pita bread with olive oil on both sides and grill for about 90 seconds or two minutes each side.
Next, cut up the rounds into wedges.
For the topping:
Wash and slice your peppers (or your own favorite veggie - mushrooms and tomatoes also work well).
Saute peppers until soft, and mix with goat cheese in bowl.
Spread the topping across your wedges and enjoy!
