Easy Roasted Red Pepper-Feta Dip with Garlic "Chips"

We love to entertain...in big and small ways. Some parties beg for exquisite dishes from drinks and hors d'oeurves right on down to dessert. Most of the time, however, it is a family get together or just friends hanging out for an evening or before going out to dinner. For those times, we want it super easy.
Here is a very easy and tasty dipping chip. When you buy a package of pitas, you can make sandwiches OR some of these for snacking or entertaining.
GARLIC PITA CHIPS
Ingredients
2 pita breads
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350ยบ F.

2. Using a small knife or kitchen scissors, cut along circumference of each pita bread to remove folded edge.
