Are pita chips healthy?

When compared to store-bought chips and other packaged snacks, Homemade Pita Chips are a much healthier choice. When making your own pita chips you get to control the amount of salt, as well as how much and what type of oil to use.

Where do I store Homemade Pita Chips?

Once the pita chips have cooled, store them in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 10 days. The pita chips will maintain a better texture if kept in a dry environment—not the fridge.

What do you eat with pita chips?

You can enjoy pita chips on their own, or serve them alongside a delicious, creamy dip! Break them into smaller pieces and serve on top of a salad or soup. They're especially great with hummus.

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.
