Pita Chips Recipe
Description
This Pita Chips Recipe uses pita bread cut into triangles and coated evenly with an olive oil and herb seasoning blend including basil, oregano, garlic powder, and fine salt. The seasoned pita is baked in a single layer at 400°F until it becomes crisp and golden, typically between 8 to 12 minutes. Thinner pocket-style pita bakes faster due to its two thin layers compared to thicker pita breads.
The final chips have a firm texture and aromatic herb flavor. Baking crisps the bread without adding grease, making the chips sturdy for dipping in hummus, salads, or as a crunchy snack. The seasoning lends a mild Mediterranean flavor profile.
These chips are best consumed soon after baking for maximum crispness. Variations in thickness or oven performance may adjust baking time. Flipping the chips midway promotes even crisping. They serve well as an appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to dips and spreads.
Ingredients
- 4 pita bread Preferably pocket-style), 6-8” diameter
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp basil dried
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt fine sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a measuring cup, combine extra virgin olive oil and seasonings, stir to combine.
- Cut pita bread into triangles. For an 8-inch pita bread, you can use a pizza cutter to slice it into 8-10 wedges or triangles.
- Combine pita bread in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil mixture and toss with your hands until evenly coated.
- Arrange pita chips in a single layer. I fit the whole batch on a large half sheet, but you can also use 2 smaller baking sheets. Bake at 400˚F in a single layer for 8-12 minutes (*depending on thickness of pita bread) flipping halfway. Bake until crisp, golden and firm. If you have 2 baking sheets, rotate them halfway through baking.
Notes
- Pocket pita crisps faster (7-9 minutes) due to thinner layers; thicker pita requires longer baking (10-12 minutes).
