Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cut each pita bread into 8 small triangles by slicing it in half, then into quarters, and finally into eighths.
Separate the two layers of each pita triangle to create thinner crisps, if desired.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the pita triangles in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them. Toss well to evenly coat the pieces.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled pita triangles and toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Spread the seasoned pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita crisps are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through baking for even crisping.
Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately with your favorite dip or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
