Instructions

1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking for consistent results.

2

Prepare the pita bread

Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Pro tip: For even pieces, stack the pita breads before cutting.

3

Season the pita wedges

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the pita wedges in the mixture until evenly coated.

Pro tip: Use your hands to ensure all pieces are well-coated.

4

Arrange on a baking sheet

Spread the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan to allow even air circulation.

5

Bake the pita chips

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through.

Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

6

Cool and serve

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Pro tip: Chips will continue to crisp up as they cool.

  • Use day-old pita bread for best results; it crisps up better.
  • Customize with your favourite spices like garlic powder or paprika.
  • Ensure even coating of oil and seasonings for uniform flavour.
  • Watch closely while baking to prevent burning.
