- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 6 pita breads, about 5-inch diameter
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350° F. Place the oil and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave on high until garlic is softened, about 40 seconds. Be careful not to brown. Place the pita breads on baking sheets. Using a brush, spread some oil and garlic on top of each pita. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, parsley and pepper. Bake until hot and slightly browned, 10-15 minutes. For crispier bread use a hotter oven. Serve hot or room temperature.
