Baked Seasoned Pita Chips
Description
Baked Seasoned Pita Chips start with pita bread cut into wedges and coated with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil and Italian seasoning. Baking them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit creates a crisp texture with lightly browned edges. The seasoning blend adds herbal and slight spicy notes, while salt and black pepper enhance their flavor. Their crunchiness makes them ideal as a snack or served alongside dips like hummus or salsa.
The straightforward baking method ensures the chips maintain a consistent texture without becoming greasy. Brushing the olive oil mixture evenly on rough sides exposes more surface for crisping. This process results in a chip that is firm yet not hard, pleasant for snacking or dipping.
This recipe allows substitution of Italian seasoning with other blends like cinnamon and sugar for a different flavor profile, emphasizing its adaptability. Storing them in an airtight container preserves the crispness for several days, fitting well into make-ahead snack plans.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut each pita bread into 8 triangles and separate each triangle at the fold. Arrange the pita wedges, rough side up, on a lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and italian seasoning. Brush each triangle with oil mixture. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Bake in a preheated oven for about 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- You can replace Italian seasoning with other spice blends such as cinnamon and sugar for a sweet variation.
- Ensure pita triangles are separated at the folds to crisp evenly during baking.
- Store the baked chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness for up to 5 days.
