Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole pieces Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut each pita bread into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. Separate the layers of the pita wedges if thicker chips are not desired.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and ground cayenne pepper. Stir until the mixture is a cohesive spice paste.
Add the pita wedges to the mixing bowl. Toss them thoroughly so each wedge is evenly coated with the spice blend.
Spread the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.
Bake the pita chips in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baked pita chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy with your favorite dips or on their own as a snack!
