How to Make Homemade Pita Chips

bread

Extra virgin olive oil

Kosher Salt

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. And prepare a large sheet pan (do not line with parchment).

Split the pita pockets in half to make single rounds of pita. Place each pita flat on your cutting board and split them in half from the seam with a sharp knife or kitchen shears (you should end up with 2 single rounds of pita). Note: If your pitas are the thick, single-layer kind, you can skip this step as you can&#039;t split them.

Brush with extra virgin olive oil &amp; Season. Brush the pita rounds with extra virgin olive oil and season with kosher salt and za&#039;atar (do this on both sides).

Cut into triangles. Using a knife or a pair of kitchen shears again, cut each round of pita into 8 triangles.

Bake! Arrange the pita triangles on the prepared sheet pan. Bake anywhere from 5 to 10  minutes, checking occasionally to turn over the pita triangles that have gained color,  until you have pita chips that are crispy and golden brown to your liking.

Homemade Pita Chips Recipe

Pita bread

tbsp Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)

Sea Salt

tsp Sumac (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. 

Brush the pitas on both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and sumac on both sides.&nbsp;

Cut the pitas into wedges using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife.&nbsp;

Place the pita pieces on the baking sheet and bake for eight to ten minutes until they're golden brown.&nbsp;

Serve with dips such as hummus or mast o khiar.&nbsp;

This salad brings together some of summer’s best and brightest ingredients: corn, mango and cucumbers. A perfect, just-ripe mango provides sweetness as a counterbalance to the saltiness of fried halloumi. The cheese is fairly easy to find in supermarkets, but if you are looking for an alternative, you can use queso blanco, which is less salty, but fries in a similar way. (For best results, fry the cheese just before you are ready to eat.) Pita chips turn this into a heartier meal. You can also wrap the salad in corn tortillas and serve with guacamole.

Corn Salad With Mango and Halloumi

olive oil

apple cider vinegar

sugar

kosher salt,

cumin

smoked paprika

Black pepper

(8-ounce) blocks halloumi cheese,

mango,

Persian cucumbers

mint leaves

cilantro

scallions, finely sliced

Kosher salt and black pepper

pita chips, crumbled

To make the vinaigrette, place the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, cumin and smoked paprika in a large bowl and whisk until combined. Taste, and season with pepper and also more salt if needed.

To prepare the salad, place the ears of corn on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, massaging to coat.

Heat a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high. When hot, add the corn and allow to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, so they char. (The ears don’t need to be completely blackened, just parts of them.) Set aside. When cool enough to handle, use a sharp knife to cut the corn from the ears and add to the bowl with the vinaigrette. When the pan has cooled, wipe it out.

Pat the halloumi cheese with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Heat the same pan you used for the corn over medium-high. When hot, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add the halloumi pieces and cook for 30 to 60 seconds on each side, turning frequently, until they are golden on all sides. Transfer to the bowl with the corn.

To the bowl, add the mango, cucumbers, mint, cilantro and scallions and toss to combine. Taste and add salt and black pepper to your liking. When you are ready to serve, top with pita chips and toss gently.

Perfect as a starter or lighter option, this recipe is great for entertaining.

A classic recipe for crispy Homemade Baked Pita Chips! These crunchy pita chips are healthy, easy to make in under 30 minutes, customizable with your favorites herbs and perfect for snacking. 

Quick &amp; Easy Homemade Baked Pita Chips

Whole Wheat Pitas,

garlic powder

black pepper

dry basil

sea salt

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, basil, pepper and salt.

Place pita triangles in a bowl and pour seasoned olive oil over pita. Gently toss to coat each pita triangle, use your hands for this.

Next place pita triangles on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, until slightly browned.

Remove from oven and let cool. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container.

I hadn't intended on making these this past weekend, but I'd made a note to do a price check on whole wheat pitas to get an idea of how expensive they were. I expected them to be pricey. But much to my surprise I could get a bag of 6 for less then $2! So I snagged some. And made this. The hardest part was getting them arranged to fit on our two pans so I wouldn't have to do multiple batches. It was a tight fit, but I managed. :) I slopped all the oil/herb mix on the chips (I'd hate to waste, and hoped they wouldn't turn out oily and gross--they didn't). Even at the minimum time, one pan of these came out really dark. I was worried they'd taste burnt, but they didn't! Just super crispy. My boyfriend described them as "like crack" and demanded they be taken away from him after five or six "one more" trips into the container. They've been tried with homemade guacamole as well as split pea soup but are also amazing just by themselves. I don't know if it's necessary, but I've been storing these in containers with rice at the bottom in hopes of keeping them crisp. I'd read of other bloggers doing that with roasted chickpeas to keep them crunchy... Days after, they are still nice and crispy. No idea if it's the rice. Anyway. I think these are going to become a staple. They're so easy to make and so cheap! And so healthy! Thank you so much for the recipe!!

So great! I split my pitas and cut into strips...had quite a bit of olive oil mixture left over (making them even more healthy?)

I had some "day old" pitas that I didn't want to go to waste so I just made these pita chips and they are good!  I added some onion powder and doubled the garlic powder for added flavor.  I had full sized pitas and mini pitas.  Because the mini's are thinner, they crisped up beyond what I would have wanted but like Sherwood said, they didn't taste burnt, just extra crunchy.  Nice recipe.  Thanks for sharing.

These were so delicious! I added 1/4 tsp onion powder to the recipe. Will definitely be making these again. Thank you for sharing!

So yummy!  I substitued all spices with 2 Tablespoons of Za'atar and served with baked feta, sundried tomatoes, and Greek olives.  Thank you for posting!

These are delicious with the pita bread I used thank you!

I discovered this recipe spring 2021.  I have been making these chips all spring and summer and my friends and family are wowed by them.  I will never buy store bought again, these are so much better.  I like to use chilli garlic olive oil instead of regular as it gives a nice mild spicy bite and I use Kosher salt instead of sea salt.  These are really wonderful!

These are amazing! Just stuck to the recipe and so good! Can't wait to experiment with different spices. No worries about leftovers, there will be none.

Great idea! These chips were a huge hit alongside some dips I had made for a Superbowl party.  Every single chip got eaten, so I wish I had made more.  They were really good, despite being made with Whole Wheat pita breads. I did add some extra spices (Italian seasoning, Janes Krazy mixed-up salt, white pepper) to make them zippier. Also, I brushed the oil on both sides of the pita with a pastry brush for more even distribution. I flipped them over halfway through baking time, too.

Homemade Pita Chips turn basic pitas into delicious and addicting snacks. Dip these pita chips into your favourite hummus, salsa or bean dip.

Air Fryer Pita Chips

pitas (lebanese style)

tsp salt

tsp pepper

oregano

Toss.  Air fry at 375 F for 5 minutes flipping over halfway through to make sure all sides and pieces have a chance to crisp up.

How to make beautiful homemade pita chips from scratch. Great for mezze platters, hummus, baba ganoush, or any of your favorite dips. Easy, vegan and fun to make!

Pita bread (2-3 thin “pita pockets”)

Extra virgin olive oil, olive oil

salt

sesame

If pita bread is thick, cut it in half, then split the pockets open so you have thinner pieces. Brush or spray top side with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and any of the optional spices or seeds.

Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan in the middle of the oven.

Bake until crisp and golden, 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pita. Keep a close eye, lowering heat if need be! The thinner the pita, the faster it will cook. 

Let them cool, they will further crisp up as they cool. 

Pita chips are a wonderful innovation created for dipping and crunching on.
