Crispy Rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried dill, optional
- 3 rounds of white or whole wheat pita bread
- Salt
- 1 (16-ounce) package wonton wrappers (about 24)
- 2 egg whites, beaten
- Black and white sesame seeds, for garnish
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings (except salt).
- Brush the pita rounds on both sides with the seasoned oil.
- Cut each round into 12 wedges.
- Lay the wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle lightly with salt and bake for about 10 minutes, then turn wedges over and bake another 35 minutes.
- They should be darkened and crispy but not too brown.
- Cool completely and serve.
- Any leftovers will keep for several days in a Ziploc bag or airtight container.
- Defrost the wrappers and peel them apart.
- Stack and cut them in half (some are round and some are square; it doesnt matter).
- Brush them with a little egg white and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds.
- Heat 2 inches of oil to 350F in a saucepan or wok and gently drop in the crisps, a few at a time.
- If they start to curl, straighten them with tongs.
- Turn them once, and when they are light golden brown (about 30 seconds), remove and drain them on paper towels.
- When the crisps are cool, place in an airtight container or Ziploc bag; they will stay crisp for several days.
