Homemade Pita Chips
Description
Homemade Pita Chips start with pita bread cut into small triangles or rounds. They are tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then baked until they reach a delicate golden crispness. The oil and spices coat the pita pieces evenly, ensuring an aromatic and lightly savory flavor. The result is a chip with a satisfying crunch that holds well for dipping.
These pita chips are ideal for serving alongside dips such as hummus or labneh, adding texture and flavor to a Mediterranean-inspired snack or appetizer. They can also be used as a crunchy topping for salads to add a toasted element.
To store, cool the chips completely before placing them in an airtight container, where they will stay crisp for up to a week. While the recipe suggests garlic powder and olive oil, the seasonings and oil type can be adjusted to suit personal taste preferences.
Ingredients
- 3 pita bread cut into small triangles, large rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- hummus for serving, or labneh
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375°F (or 400°F if you're using thicker pita). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the pita into small triangles and place on the prepared baking sheet. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss with your hands to combine. Arrange evenly on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pita is lightly golden brown, about 10-15 minutes (the thicker pita will need more time), turning halfway through.
- Allow the pita chips cool completely before serving. Serve with your favorite dip or on top of a Mediterranean salad.
Notes
- Allow chips to cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Seasonings and oil may be substituted to vary flavor while maintaining texture.
