4.
Combine Parmesan cheese, basil and garlic powder in small bowl; sprinkle evenly over pita wedges.

Cinnamon Crisps: Substitute butter-flavored cooking spray for olive oil-flavored cooking spray, and 1 tablespoon sugar mixed with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon for Parmesan cheese, basil and garlic powder.
