　　about 1/4 cup olive oil

　　1 1/2 cups finely shredded Parmesan (about 6 ounces)

Split each pita loaf horizontally into 2 rounds and brush rough sides with oil. Cut each round into 16 wedges and arrange with edges touching, oiled sides up, on 2 baking sheets. Sprinkle pita with Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and bake on middle and lower racks of oven, switching position of sheets in oven halfway through baking, 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
