Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F to prepare for baking your crispy pizza chips to perfection.
Arrange Pita Chips: Spread the pita chips on a large baking sheet in an even layer to ensure they bake evenly and crisp up nicely.
Mix Cheese and Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Stir together until the chips will be evenly coated.
Top Chips: Sprinkle the cheesy mixture generously over the arranged pita chips, making sure each chip gets some of the delicious topping.
Add Olive Oil: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the topped pita chips to add extra crispiness and flavor when baking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the chips turn golden brown and crispy.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pizza chips cool for 5 minutes to firm up slightly before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking or serve on the side.
Use day-old pita chips for maximum crunch.
Feel free to add other toppings like sliced olives, pepperoni, or diced peppers for a customized snack.
Serve with extra tomato sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
