Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Parchment Paper
- 1 Oven
- 1 Knife
- 1 Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 4 regular pita breads khubz
- ¼ cup good olive oil 60ml
- ½ tsp salt I used Maldon here
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp za'atar
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Set oven temperature to 400°F/200°C. Use silicone mats, parchment paper, foil, or oiled paper to line a baking sheet.
- Each pita bread should yield eight triangles. Spread out the pita chips so they don't overlap and line the baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sea salt, paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder. Chips should be brushed or sprayed with oil before being sprinkled with half of the seasonings.
- Turn the chips over, give them another coat of oil (brush or spray), and then add the remaining seasonings.
- Bake for eight minutes, or until crisp and golden. Take out and let cool entirely.
- Have fun! Pita chips retain crunchy for up to a week when kept in an airtight Tupperware container.
Notes
- Exactly how long to bake your pita breads will depend on their thickness.
- To make this recipe, you can use regular paprika instead of smoked.
- You get 48 pita chips out of this recipe.
