Garlic-Herb Pita Toasts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 (6 inch) pita bread rounds, quartered (fresh or slightly stale, preferably whole wheat)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
2 large fresh garlic cloves, minced
coarse salt, to taste

Preparation

Cooks Tip: For the best results, use a baking sheet that is not too dark for this recipe; otherwise, watch the pita bread carefully as it burns easily.
Preheat oven to 500\u00b0F.
Separate each pita quarter into 2 pieces.
Arrange in a single layer, rough side up, on an ungreased baking sheet.
Brush evenly with the oil.
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, chives, and garlic.
Using your fingers, distribute the herb mixture evenly over the pita quarters.
Sprinkle evenly with coarse salt.
Bake on the top rack of the oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the pita quarters are nicely toasted.
