Roasted Cherry Tomato and Feta Crisps (Phases 2 & 3)
No need to chop the garlic to flavor the pita; just smash the clove with the flat edge of your chef's knife and toss the whole thing in the olive oil.
Serves 24
Ingredients
Topping
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
3 large black olives, or 10 small black olives, pitted and chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh rosemary leaves to garnish
Pita Crisps
1 1/2 whole-wheat pita rounds
1 medium garlic clove, smashed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, toss tomatoes with oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, until softened, shaking pan occasionally. Keep oven at 350°F. In small cup, stir smashed garlic into oil. Cut 1 pita into 8 even double-layer triangles. Separate each triangle into 2 wedges. Repeat with half of another pita, for a total of 24 wedges. Place pitas, split-side up in a single layer, on a baking sheet. Brush with garlic oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 7 minutes, until crisp and golden. Cool. Top crisps with tomatoes, feta, and olives. Garnish with a rosemary leaf. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Make-Ahead Tip
Pita crisps can be made 1 day ahead. Store crisps, tightly covered, at room temperature. Roast tomatoes 4 hours ahead. Store at room temperature.
