Notes
This recipe used to call for 2 tablespoons of seasoned salt, but I've learned that brands vary and some are a lot more salty than others. I now use 1 tablespoon of Lawry's and it's still nice and salty without being too much for me. That said, I do like my snacks fairly salty. If that's not for you, reduce it down to 2 teaspoons.
I've recently found Gardetto's rye chips in the stores again and they make a great swap for the pita chips!
