Notes
- May substitute whole wheat pita bread rounds. However, the toasted pita wedges will not be quite as crispy.
- When melting the butter in the microwave, watch closely. Depending on the water content, it may sputter and pop. Therefore, cover with a paper towel. Alternatively, melt the butter with the garlic in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
- Toasted pita wedges will remain crisp up to three days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. I like to use a Ziploc bag for this.
