Baked Pita Chips Recipe

Ingredients

• 2-3 whole Pita Breads ((SEE NOTES))
• 4-6 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil ((SEE NOTES))
• 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven: Arrange oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

2. 2

   Mix Oil with Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with the salt, pepper, and any optional spices (SEE NOTES). Use a fork or small whisk and stir well to combine before setting aside.

3. 3

   Prep Pitas: Place the pita breads on a clean work surface. Use kitchen shears or a Chef’s knife to split the pita pockets in half at the seams to form 2 separate, single-layered pitas. (Note: If you purchased the thick single-layer variety of pitas that can’t be separated at the seams – i.e., without a pocket - skip this step.)

4. 4

   Season Pitas: Use a pastry brush to generously coat both sides of the pita breads with the flavored oil mixture.

5. 5

   Cut into Triangles: Use the kitchen shears or a Chef’s knife to cut the pita into 8ths to form triangles or pita wedges. Then transfer the oiled pita triangles to the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.

6. 6

   Bake Pita Wedges: Transfer the pita wedges to the pre-heated oven and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, for 8-13 minutes or until the pita chips are crisp and golden in color. (Tip: If some of the pita chips turn golden before the time is up, simply remove them from the baking sheet and let the other chips continue baking.)

7. 7

   Enjoy Pita Chips! Cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Serve with your favorite salsa, hummus, or other various dips and enjoy!
