Did you know making your own pita chips is so easy? It tastes amazing and your kids will surely love it. It is so easy to customize as well. Just add any herbs and flavoring that you like and voila, you have made your own snack.

Don’t laugh when I say the first time I have tried pita chips is when my daughter asked to buy one from Pita Pit last year (2019). It is good and all, but I reckon, it was pricey for a few chips in a bag. She so love it and always begs for one. It is hard to say no sometimes, then until one day I decided to make my own. My first try was a success and I never turned back. I make it at home once a week, and my daughter is happy. End of story, but of course I want to share it with you. That is why I am here, writing down the ingredients you need and the instructions for you to follow. Believe me, it is so simple, quick and very easy.

How to Make Homemade Pita Chips?

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush the parchment paper with oil. Set aside. Cut the pitas into 8 wedges using a kitchen knife or pizza cutter. Put the pitas in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and thyme. Toss the pitas until they are fully coated with oil. Lay them flat on the baking sheet, making sure that they are not on top of each other for even cooking. Bake for 4-5 minutes, depending on how thick the pitas. Take the baking sheet out and flip the chips over carefully, then return to the oven to bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until edges turn brown. Remove from the oven and leave it to cool completely. Serve with your favorite dips or eat as is.

NOTES:

• For this recipe, you can a thicker pita but make sure to adjust the temperature of the oven and the baking time. For thick pitas, your oven should be 425 degrees F (225 degrees C) and bake for 5-8 minutes on each side, or until the edges turn brown.
• You can customize your chips by adding other herbs, pastes and flavoring. I like mine with thyme or Italian herbs. Cheese powder, BBQ or garlic would be good to try to.
• Serve homemade pita chips with your favorite dips, sour and chive, garlic and onion, guacamole, or hummus.
• The key to crispy pita chips is a hot oven with the right temperature and enough fat. Make sure to coat those pita wedges with olive oil.
• Transfer cooled pita chips to an airtight container and store for 1 to 2 days.
