For extra ease, our Test Kitchen says to bake the pita crackers the night before. Cool and store in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also prepare and chill the spread overnight; remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.

I admit I bought pita crackers to save time for holiday party for which I made many dishes! The only thing I changed about the spread was to increase the minced rosemary to 1 1/2 teaspoon. It was simply outstanding and my guests went back for more.
