Here's how to make the best homemade pita chips in less than 10 minutes! They turn out crunchy and golden and so much better than store-bought. Perfect to scoop into red pepper hummus, tzatziki or any dip!
2pita breads - regular, whole-wheat or even stale pita bread
1tablespoonextra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano - or other herbs / spices of choice
Good pinch of salt
Instructions
Using scissors or a knife, slice the pitas into triangles roughly the same size*Optional - if you are using thicker pita bread or if they have a seam in the middle, split them in half using your fingers before slicing so you'll have 4 round pieces
Oven Method
Preheat oven to 400℉ / 200℃. Add a piece of parchment paper to a baking sheet and place the pita triangles on top. Drizzle or brush over the olive oil (you can even use an oil spray) and sprinkle over the oregano and a good pinch of salt
Toss the pita triangles so they're all coated - I find it easier to use my hands. Then spread them out into a single layer
Bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes until they're golden and crispy. Make sure to keep an eye on them as depending on the bread thickness and your oven, the time will slightly differServe with your favorite dip such as hummus or tzatziki and enjoy!
Air Fryer Method
Preheat air fryer to 400℉ / 200℃. Place the pita triangles in a bowl and drizzle or brush over the olive oil (you can even use an oil spray), sprinkle over the oregano and a good pinch of salt

Air fry for 3-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy - tossing half way. Make sure to keep an eye on them as depending on the bread thickness, the time will slightly differServe them with your favorite dip such as hummus or tzatziki and enjoy!
