Crispy spiced pita chips in a rustic bowl

Spiced Pita Chips

Pita chips are a modern twist on Mediterranean cuisine that has become increasingly popular in recent decades as a quick yet healthy snack. The original pita bread comes from the Middle East and has long been a staple food. The chips version is a practical, crispy alternative that was first used by restaurants for dipping and quickly made its way into home kitchens. Imagine the aroma of freshly baked pita chips filling your kitchen, while the scent of spices gently permeates the air. The secret to successful chips is thinly sliced pita, quality olive oil, and the right baking time. Don't overbake, as they can easily become bitter! This snack is ideal for parties, movie nights, or even alongside salads. If you like, you can experiment with different spices, such as rosemary or chili, for a spicier flavor.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Tip: If you're using a convection oven, the chips will bake more evenly.

    2

    Cut the pita bread into triangles or small wedges, like pizza slices. One pita can typically be divided into 8 equal pieces. Tip: Use a pizza cutter for faster and more uniform cuts.

    3

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, oregano, and salt. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed in the oil.

    4

    Add the pita wedges to the spiced oil, then toss by hand or with a spatula to coat each piece evenly. Tip: Don't soak them for too long, as they may get soggy – even coating is the goal!

    5

    Arrange the pita pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they don't overlap, or they won't crisp up properly.

    6

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Baking time may vary depending on your oven – keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning.

    7

    Let the chips cool completely before serving – this will make them extra crispy. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to several days.
