Homemade Tortilla, Pita or Bagel Crisps

When  we’re in a nibbly mood and ready to watch our favorite tv show, what often comes to mind are potato chips, tortilla chips or bagel crisps that satisfy the salt and fat we’re hungry for.  

But just 1 oz about 11 chips or crisps can contain about 155 calories and 10 grams of fat including saturated fat.  When was the last time you only ate 11 chips?

Let me give you an alternative.  My favorite snack is to slice a whole tortilla, pita or bagel into 6 wedges or slices, sprinkle with your favorite seasoning such as garlic powder, cayenne or parmesan cheese and spray with some vegetable oil.  Bake in a 400 F oven for about 10 minutes just until crisp. The fat is reduced by 50% and there is virtually no saturated fat.  The sodium is controlled as well when you bake your own.  

Make a large batch and store in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.  Great to enjoy while watching “The Biggest Loser”!
