An Easy Pita Chips Recipe
I remember the first time I made pita chips from home successfully. I felt like I had cracked the homemade chip code, with such little work.
Homemade pita chips are one of the easiest snacks to make at home, and one of the best because they actually stay crispy up to a week after you make them!
While I love a bag of storebought pita chips, I love making these at home because I can add extra seasoning to them and control just how crispy I want them. Total win-win.
What Do You Need to Make Pita Chips?
You only need a few ingredients to make crunchy pita chips at home. Here’s a quick overview. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card for specific amounts.
- Pita Bread – You will need 2 pita breads. I make my pita chips from pita bread, whether that’s bakery bought or storebought. I’ve tried the fluffy ones, low carb ones, white and whole wheat ones, and they all taste incredible.
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Ground black pepper
- Paprika – Smoked paprika works too!
- Sea salt
- Olive oil – Or any kind of oil.
How to Make Pita Chips
- Prep the pita bread. First, I cut each bread into 8 triangles (like in the photos) by cutting each pita in half, then into quarters, then each quarter in half.
- Combine the seasonings. In a small bowl, mix up the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika and sea salt. You can definitely customise the seasonings, but I love this combination. You could even try a lemon pepper combo!
- Brush the triangles with olive oil and a mix of seasonings. You can use a pastry brush or your fingertips to add the oil. Then sprinkle the seasoning on top. (Dry your hands first if you used them to add the oil, otherwise the seasoning mix will stick to them.)
- Bake the chips, and bam, you’re done! It all comes together in less than 15 minutes, and you can easily half it or double it.
How to Eat Pita Chips
Fact: Pita chips taste incredible by themself. Bigger fact: Pita chips taste even better with a dip. I love serving pita chips with:
- Homemade guacamole
- Pineapple salsa
- Homemade hummus
- Strawberry salsa
- Pretty much any dip
