Scale
Ingredients
- 4 pita breads (white or whole wheat)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Prepare pita wedges: Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. For thinner chips, gently separate the pita layers before cutting.
- Toss with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the pita pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and dried oregano or Italian seasoning if using. Toss well to evenly coat.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Bake the chips: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through baking. Watch closely until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let the chips cool slightly before serving to allow them to crisp further.
Notes
- For extra crispy chips, bake a few minutes longer but monitor carefully to avoid burning.
- These pita chips are ideal for pairing with hummus, salsa, or any favorite dips.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crisp for up to 5 days.
