Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4-6 6-inch pita breads
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the Pita Bread: Place a pita bread on a cutting board and use a pizza cutter or kitchen knife to slice it into 6-8 even-sized triangles. Repeat with all pita breads until all are cut into chips.
- Season the Chips: Transfer the pita triangles to a medium-sized bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss thoroughly to ensure every chip is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Preheat and Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 330°F (165°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry the Pita Chips: Arrange the seasoned pita chips in a single layer inside the basket. Close the air fryer and cook for 4 minutes. Pause to toss the chips gently, then continue cooking for another 4 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the pita chips from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite hummus, dip, or enjoy them as a crunchy snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding other seasonings like smoked paprika, cumin, or Italian seasoning.
- Ensure chips are spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket to achieve even crispiness.
- Store leftover chips in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
- Cooking times may vary slightly based on air fryer models.
