PITA CHIPS

Chips and dips are party staples, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick with store bought tortilla chips for your favorite dips. These crunchy Mediterranean chips aren’t just for hummus. They go just as good with Guacamole as they do super bowl favorites like Cheesy Beef Dip!

Making your own Pita Chips is super easy and quick! Just grab a package of pita bread, cut in to wedges, drizzle with olive oil, and bake until crispy and golden brown. You can add all kinds of seasonings, like garlic powder or parmesan cheese, for savory dips. Or make them sweet like Cinnamon Tortilla Chips for Fruit Salsa! 

The best part of making Homemade Pita Chips is that you can make a little or lot at a time. It’s just as easy to make a big batch of Pita Chips for the Super Bowl and holiday parties as a quick snack for one. Store them in small baggies for snacking on the go for up to a week.

If you want super crispy Pita Chips, separate pita bread with pockets into two separate layers before spreading on the baking sheets. You can also cut the pita rounds into long strips, about an inch or two wide, instead of pita triangles. These smaller, crispy Pita Chips will cook faster so check them after 8 or 10 minutes.

Pita Chips from the grocery store are usually so pricey! You can buy multiple bags of pita bread for the same price as one small bag of Pita Chips. Homemade Pita Chips aren’t just a cheap way to get this crunchy snack, it means you get to control the ingredients too!

Baked Pita Chips is the best way to make these chips. Not only is it healthier, but the thicker pita bread traps oil so fried Pita Chips are pretty greasy. You can make them in the air fryer though with our instructions later in the post! The air fryer makes them super crispy and is great in the summer when you don’t want to turn on the oven.

These crunchy Pita Chips are great as a side dish to your favorite Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or Indian dishes. You can also dice them into really small strips before baking (or crush after baking) for a crispy topping for Lamb Curry or a Greek Salad.
