Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Cut each pita bread into 8 equal wedges. You can do this by slicing it into quarters and then halving each quarter.
Separate the two layers of each pita wedge to create thin chips, if desired. This step ensures extra crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and ground black pepper to make the seasoning mixture.
Add the pita wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat each piece evenly in the seasoning mixture.
Spread the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the pita chips cool completely on the tray. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Once cooled, serve immediately with your favorite dip, such as hummus, tzatziki, or salsa. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
