Description
How to make beautiful homemade pita chips from scratch. Great for mezze platters, hummus, baba ganoush, or any of your favorite dips. Easy, vegan and fun to make!
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Pita bread (2-3 thin “pita pockets”)
- Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing, or use spray olive oil
- salt to taste
- Optional additions: sesame seeds, zaatar, dukkah, sumac, garam masala, granulated garlic powder (or onion powder), furikake, or everything bagel spice.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300F
- If pita bread is thick, cut it in half, then split the pockets open so you have thinner pieces. Brush or spray top side with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and any of the optional spices or seeds.
- Cut into triangles or long wedges.
- Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan in the middle of the oven.
- Bake until crisp and golden, 10-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pita. Keep a close eye, lowering heat if need be! The thinner the pita, the faster it will cook.
- Let them cool, they will further crisp up as they cool.
Notes
- Store in a sealed container or ziplock for up to 14 days.
