- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the necessary ingredients including pita bread, olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika to ensure smooth preparation.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat for consistent baking results.
- Cut Pita Bread: Slice each large pita bread round into 8 equal triangular pieces, creating bite-sized chip shapes.
- Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika thoroughly to form the seasoning blend.
- Toss Pita Triangles: Add the pita triangles to the bowl and toss them well to evenly coat each piece with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
- Arrange for Baking: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned pita triangles in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap for even crisping.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, checking for a golden brown color and crisp texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the pita chips halfway through baking.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding cayenne pepper for heat or dried herbs like oregano for extra flavor.
- Store leftover pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crunch.
- Use whole wheat pita bread for a healthier alternative.
