Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each pita bread into 8 equal triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, making a total of 32 chips.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the spicy seasoning mixture.
Place the pita triangles in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the spicy seasoning mixture over the pita pieces and toss gently to coat evenly.
Arrange the seasoned pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced out and not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let the pita chips cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy them with your favorite dips or as a standalone snack!
