Fried Lavash Triangles

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Plating: Fried Lavash Triangles! Lavash, like anything else these days, can often be purchased in the Deli Department of your local supermarket without having to make it at home. Lavash slightly resembles pita bread or flatbread, but much thinner. Different varieties are available including flax, oat bran, and whole wheat. The package I bought contained 4 sheets. Obviously, you can make triangular snack chips or square crispy crackers. Once you try it, you’ll see how versatile lavash really is. Crunch-time is back to Munch-time. 

FRIED LAVASH TRIANGLES

Ingredients:

2 sheets of lavash bread

1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon tajin seasoning

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200°. Set aside a baking sheet. Warm vegetable oil in an iron skillet over medium-low heat. Brush the top of each sheet of lavash bread with olive oil. Sprinkle with tajin seasoning and sea salt. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper powder, to taste. Using a kitchen shears, cut lavash bread into triangles of desired size for snack chips. Place a single layer of triangles in the iron skillet. Watch closely. Using a tongs, flip over to fry both sides. When slightly golden, transfer the fried lavash triangles to the baking sheet, still forming a single layer. Repeat frying process until all chips are fried. Place baking sheet in the oven for about 5-6 minutes. Remove and let cool. This turns the chips crispier and adds more crunch. Serve with tzatziki dip.
