Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pita pockets
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon za'atar seasoning
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425℉
- Using a sharp knife, slice pita bread in half so that you have two half circles. Generously brush the outside and sides of the pita bread with olive oil, then slice each half into 4 to 6 wedges.
- Place pita triangles on a baking sheet, in a single layer. Sprinkle with kosher salt, za'atar spice, or one of the other optional seasonings listed below.
- Bake pita chips in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy. Flip halfway through. See post for instructions on how to make thin pita chips.

Notes
- Some pita chip recipes call for slicing the pita bread into wedges, then brushing one pita wedge at a time. I've tried both ways and brushing the pita bread before slicing it is quicker and easier!
- Since oven times can vary, keep an eye on the pita chips to keep them from burning. If you find they're not crispy enough, you can bake them a little longer.
- Another option for making thinner pita chips is to use lavash bread instead of pita bread.
- Notice that I don't line the baking sheet with parchment paper. I do this on purpose because the chips crips up and brown better when they come in direct contact with the baking sheet.
- If you have pita bread that's broken into pieces, don't let that stop you! You can make pita chips with strips or pieces of pita bread.
- This recipe makes a small batch of pita chips. You can easily double the recipe if serving a larger crowd.
