How to Make Homemade Pita Chips

Step 1

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. And prepare a large sheet pan (do not line with parchment).

Step 2

Split the pita pockets in half to make single rounds of pita. Place each pita flat on your cutting board and split them in half from the seam with a sharp knife or kitchen shears (you should end up with 2 single rounds of pita). Note: If your pitas are the thick, single-layer kind, you can skip this step as you can't split them.

Step 3

Brush with extra virgin olive oil & Season. Brush the pita rounds with extra virgin olive oil and season with kosher salt and za'atar (do this on both sides).

Step 4

Cut into triangles. Using a knife or a pair of kitchen shears again, cut each round of pita into 8 triangles.

Step 5

Bake! Arrange the pita triangles on the prepared sheet pan. Bake anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, checking occasionally to turn over the pita triangles that have gained color, until you have pita chips that are crispy and golden brown to your liking.
