If you’re looking for a fun and tasty snack that comes together in about 15 minutes and requires just one baking sheet, then let me introduce you to my favorite Homemade Pita Chips! They’re quick and easy to whip up, making them the perfect addition to any weeknight meal that your family will love!
Ingredients for Homemade Pita Chips
So here’s what you’ll need for these crunchy, flavor-packed Homemade Pita Chips:
- 4 pitas (cut into 8 triangles)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (or more if you like it really spicy!)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (and a couple pinches of pepper)
Note: Feel free to play around with the spices! If you have Italian seasoning or some dried rosemary lying around, toss them in! This is your chance to get creative!
How to Make Homemade Pita Chips
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how I make my go-to Homemade Pita Chips:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Like, really get that heat going!
Arrange the pita triangles on a baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd them; you need space to get them crispy!
Drizzle the olive oil over the pita triangles. Use a brush or your hands to make sure those little triangles are evenly coated, nobody wants a dry chip!
Sprinkle on the seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and of course, a couple pinches of pepper. Toss everything together so that every piece is coated in all that deliciousness.
Bake them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they’re golden brown and smelling heavenly (seriously, it’s the best smell ever).
Once crispy and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Be careful, they’ll be hot!
Serve with your favorite dips like hummus or salsa, and you’re golden! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
These pita chips are addictively crunchy and oh-so-delicious!
Speaking of versatile, I often find myself thinking that these chips pair incredibly well with my creamy carrot hummus with zaatar !
