Shoprite Sea Salt Kettle Cooked Pita Chips
What it is
These are baked pita bread pieces that have been seasoned with sea salt. They are cooked using a kettle method, which often results in a satisfying crunch. The pita bread base gives them a slightly chewy texture before they are baked to crispness. The sea salt provides a straightforward savory flavor that complements the baked dough.
