A recipe from "The BBQ Bible", by Steven Raichlen, for the Middle East. Grilling is a great way to crisp wedges of pita bread for dipping. (It's also a great way to add fresh life to stale pita bread.) For extra color and flavor, sprinkle the chips with white or black sesame seeds before grilling.

Tips:

Use fresh pita bread: Fresh pita bread will produce the crispiest chips. If you can't find fresh pita bread, you can also use store-bought pita bread, but make sure it's soft and pliable.
Cut the pita bread into even-sized pieces: This will help the chips cook evenly. You can cut the pita bread into triangles, squares, or any other shape you like.
Brush the pita bread with olive oil: This will help the chips to brown and crisp up. You can also use melted butter or cooking spray, but olive oil is the best option for flavor.
Season the pita bread with salt and pepper: This will add flavor to the chips. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Grill the pita bread until it is crispy: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pita bread and the heat of your grill. Keep an eye on the chips so that they don't burn.

Conclusion:

Grilled pita chips are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just a casual get-together. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a batch of crispy, flavorful pita chips that everyone will love.
