Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pita breads
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 pita breads, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of paprika.
- Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, cut each pita bread into 6-8 wedges, depending on your preferred chip size.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and paprika. Stir the mixture well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the oil.
- Add the pita wedges to the bowl with the olive oil mixture. Toss the wedges gently until they are fully coated with the oil and spice mixture.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
- Once preheated, arrange the coated pita wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow for even cooking.
- Cook the pita chips in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove the pita chips from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the pita chips warm as a snack or with your favorite dip, such as hummus or tzatziki.
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality pita bread for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to cut your pita wedges evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket - cook in batches if necessary for maximum crispiness.
- Watch the chips closely in the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
- Let the chips cool slightly before serving to allow them to crisp up even more.
- Experiment with different spice blends - try everything bagel seasoning, ranch powder, or Italian herbs for variety.
- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch for 2-3 days.
- For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle some fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese immediately after cooking.
