Homemade pita chips are easy to make, and you can use them in tons of different ways. They’re great on their own. But even better with a dip. I even substitute them for croutons in my salads.
How to Make Pita Chips
- My homemade pita chips use three main ingredients: pitas (wheat or white pita cut into small pieces or triangles), some cooking spray (I like avocado oil spray), and seasoning.
- You can use whatever seasonings you like. I used garlic salt & onion powder. They’re two seasonings I always have on hand and use in almost every recipe.
- Grab a baking sheet and spray it with your cooking spray. Cut your pitas into small triangles or slices. Then, arrange your pita triangles on the baking sheet. Make sure none are overlapping. Spray the tops of the the slices with more cooking spray. Give the chips a few shakes of each seasoning.
- Bake for about 5-10 minutes at 400 F. I like mine extra crispy, so I usually leave mine in for about 10 minutes.
Tips for the Best Homemade Pita Chips
What kind of pita bread should I use?
You can use any kind of pita bread you want. I like wheat pita pockets. You can either split them in half for crispier, thin chips. Or keep them as is for a thicker chip.
How Should I cook them?
I recommend baking on high heat – either 400 F or 425 F. As always, make sure you’re using a preheated oven. You can also use an air fryer though! You just want to get that nice golden brown color!
How do I store my pita chips?
Don’t cover your chips or put them in storage containers until they are completely cooled (room temperature). As they cool, they will get crispier too. Once they’ve cooled completely, you can store them in airtight containers or bags for up to a week. Serve with your favorite dips or eat alone!
