Equipment

• Sheet Pan

Ingredients

  

• 2 to 3 pita bread with pockets store-bought or homemade
• Extra virgin olive oil I used Greek Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher Salt
• Seasoning of choice I used a generous sprinkle of Za'atar

Instructions

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. And prepare a large sheet pan (do not line with parchment).
• 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.
• 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).
• Cut into triangles. Using a knife or a pair of kitchen shears again, cut each round of pita into 8 triangles.
• 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.

Notes

• Important note: If you're using thin pitas, they will bake more quickly while thicker pitas will take a bit longer. It's important to watch for them to turn color and crisp up to your liking. 


• Dip ideas: Hummus, baba ganoush, melitzanosalata, tzatizki, or a little olive oil and dukkah! 


• Storage: To store, make sure the pita chips are completely cooled. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days and up to 1 week.
