Description
Crispy and flavorful homemade pita chips, perfectly seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, baked to golden perfection. These chips are an ideal snack served with hummus, labneh, or as a crunchy topping for Mediterranean salads.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3 large pita bread rounds (cut into small triangles)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Hummus or labneh (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Pre-heat the oven to 375°F (or 400°F if using thicker pita). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Pita Chips: Cut the pita bread into small triangles and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, then toss gently with your hands to evenly coat each piece.
- Bake: Arrange the pita triangles evenly on the baking sheet to ensure uniform baking. Bake in the preheated oven until they turn lightly golden brown, approximately 10-15 minutes. Thicker pita pieces may require closer to 15 minutes. Turn them halfway through baking for even crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pita chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Serve the chips with hummus, labneh, or your choice of dips or as a crunchy addition to Mediterranean salads.
Notes
- For thicker pita bread, increase oven temperature to 400°F and extend baking time slightly for crispier chips.
- Toss the triangles gently to avoid breaking them into crumbs.
- Store cooled pita chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- Feel free to customize seasoning with paprika, cumin, or chili powder for extra flavor.
- These pita chips pair wonderfully with Mediterranean dips like hummus or labneh.
