Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Using kitchen shears, cut around perimeter of each pita and separate into 2 thin rounds. Cut each round in half.

While pitas toast, whisk lemon juice, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in small bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes. 3.
