I remember the first time I made pita chips at 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 do enjoy a bag of store-bought pita chips, I love making this pita chip recipe at home because I can add extra seasoning to them and control just how crispy I want them. Total win!

Scroll down to the recipe card to find the ingredient quantities and recipe instructions.

  • Pita Bread – I make my homemade pita chips from pita bread, whether that’s bakery or store-bought. 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 Homemade Pita Chips

  • Prep the pita bread. Cut each pita into 8 triangles by cutting each pita in half, then into quarters, then each quarter in half. 
  • Combine the seasonings. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika and sea salt. You can definitely customise the seasonings, but I love this combination.
  • Brush the triangles with olive oil and 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 your homemade pita chips, and bam, you’re done! It all comes together in less than 15 minutes, and you can easily half it or double it.
