Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 pita breads
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pita chips.
- Prepare pita wedges: Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges. If the pita breads are thick, separate the layers to create extra crispy chips.
- Season the pita: Place the pita wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano or Italian seasoning if using. Toss everything together until the pieces are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Arrange for baking: Spread the pita wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to allow for even crisping.
- Bake the chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, then flip each chip over to ensure even cooking. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the chips turn golden brown and achieve a crisp texture.
- Cool and serve: Remove the pita chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Cooling helps the chips to crisp up further. Serve with your favorite dips like hummus or salsa, or enjoy on their own.
Notes
- Watch the pita chips closely during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- Customize the flavor with cinnamon and sugar for a sweet snack variation.
- Serve pita chips alongside dips such as hummus, salsa, or guacamole for added flavor.
