I remember how much I missed salty – crunchy after I was first diagnosed as a Diabetic. I was lucky to have the nutritionist from my local “stupidmarket” introduce me to Joseph’s Lavash. Suddenly the clump of tuna and shreds of lettuce on my plate became something I actually wanted to eat, a sandwich! Taking it a step further, I developed this “chip” recipe to have with my soups and as a reduced carbohydrate snack. Regular pita chips have been around for years but most pita has too many carbohydrates, at least for me. Give these a shot. I think you will love them as much as we do. Just a warning: like any chip these Diabetic compatible chips are high in sodium and fat. My young Type 1 friends are crazy for these. They help make them and me feel like everybody else!
Preheat oven to 400
Note: I serve these with soup in place of bread or crackers. But just by themselves the crunchy salty taste is a great substitute for chips.
