Equipment

2 Mixing Bowls
2 Baking Sheets

Ingredients

4 (6-8 inch) pita bread rounds
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika for more of a smokey flavor
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lay out the pita bread rounds on a clean work surface
4 (6-8 inch) pita bread rounds
Cut each pita round into wedges or triangles. Cut them into whatever size you prefer. Smaller pieces will become crispier, while larger pieces will be slightly chewier. Aim for relatively even sizes to ensure even baking.
Season the Chips: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Mix well.
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika for more of a smokey flavor, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Place the pita chips into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the pita chips and toss them gently to ensure each chip is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned pita chips in a single layer on baking sheets. Use multiple sheets or bake in batches, if needed.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven, and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip them half way through.
Note: Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from perfectly crisp to overdone quickly.
Once the pita chips are done, remove them from the oven, and let them cool completely. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
Once completely cooled, serve your homemade pita chips with your favorite dips, like hummus, tzatziki, salsa, or any dip of choice.

Notes

Cool and Dry Storage: Make sure the pita chips are completely cool before storing them. Moisture can make them lose their crispiness and become stale, so ensure they are at room temperature.

Airtight Container: Place the pita chips in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag. Press out as much air as possible before sealing the container or bag to prevent moisture and air from getting in.

Freezing: If you want to extend the shelf life even further, you can freeze pita chips. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, removing as much air as possible, and store them in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. When ready to use, you can thaw them at room temperature or reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.

Yields 32 chips
