Homemade Baked Pita Chips are the best healthy snack.  They are incredibly easy to prepare and can be made with any pita bread.  Serve these oven baked pita crisps with your favourite dip.

Say hello to your newest snack addiction - homemade baked pita chips.  We almost always have a pack of pita bread on hand for easy wraps (hello Greek Chicken Gyros) and making crispy pita crisps is a great way to use up any leftovers.

Pita chips are incredibly easy to make, and once you try them I'm sure you'll be making them again and again.

They're a great blank canvas to build on.  Keep it simple with a seasoning of salt, or get creative and sprinkle everything but the bagel seasoning on top.

Why you'll love this recipe...

  • Quick and easy - you'll wonder why you haven't made these sooner!
  • Healthier than store bought - most store bought pita chips are fried and loaded with fat and sodium.
  • Perfect crisp pita bread chips every time - foolproof, easy to follow method.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Are you ready for this?  When I told you these pita chips were easy to make I wasn't joking.  Here's all you need (full measurements in the printable recipe card below)...

  • Pita Bread
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt

Optional Spices:

Take your pita chips further by playing around with different spices.  Try sprinkling one of these spices (or use your favourite) on top of your pita chips before baking.

  • Everything but the Bagel Seasoning
  • Garlic Powder
  • Oregano
  • Za'atar
  • Garam Masala

How to make Homemade Baked Pita Chips - Step by Step

Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F. 

Cut each pita into 8 even triangles. Brush each triangle with oil on both sides - you only want to lightly coat the pita, not soak it. Season each piece with salt (or if you want to try adding a spice, do so here).

Arrange pita chips on a baking tray in a single layer (do not overlap) and bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Let the chips cool completely before serving.  Then serve your favourite dip or store in an airtight container until you're ready to serve.

TIP - Don't skip letting the chips cool completely.  As they cool, they get crispier, giving you the best crispy pita chips! 

Storing Pita Chips

Pita chips can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.  They will remain crisp during this time.

What do you eat with homemade pita chips?

Pita chips are made for dipping, so you're going to want to serve it with a delicious dip!  My favourite is my Healthy Guacamole.  The recipe allows you to mix and match with whatever ingredients you have in the fridge - granted there's at least an avocado 🙂 Here's a few other dip ideas you may want to try out with your pita chips:

  • Greek Tzatziki
  • Broccoli Hummus from Sweet Caramel Sunday
  • Black Bean Dip from Sprinkles and Sprouts
  • Avocado Yogurt Dip from Sustainable Cooks
  • Baba Ganoush from It's Not Complicated
  • Spicy Beetroot Hummus from Another Food Blogger

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F. 

2

Cut each pita into 8 even triangles. Brush each triangle with oil on both sides - you only want to lightly coat the pita, not soak it. Season each piece with salt (or if you want to try adding a spice, do so here).

3

Arrange pita chips on a baking tray in a single layer (do not overlap) and bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.

4

Let the chips cool completely before serving.  Then serve your favourite dip or store in an airtight container until you're ready to serve.

Notes

PITA BREAD

  • Feel free to use white or wholegrain / wholemeal.
  • Either pocket or pocketless pita work.

OPTIONAL SPICE

  • If you want to try a spice, simply sprinkle 1/2 a tsp on top of pita chips before baking. This isn't necessary though, and I find the plain pita chips are best if you are serving with a particularly flavourful dip!

COOLING

  • Allow your pita chips to cool completely before serving. They continue to crisp up as they cool.

STORING

  • Once cooled completely, store pita chips in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

  • Nutrition information is from a nutrition calculator and is based on one chip.

Especially when they’re roasted with potatoes, the kids go wild for it… well, their dad too, haha. But I’m worried they’ll get bored, so I try to look for different recipe variations where carrots are the main ingredient. #glazedcarrots #carrotrecipes #vegetarianrecipes #cookitrealgood #veggies #sidedishes #sidedishrecipes

Yes, you heard right - 15 minutes! This does require a little multi-tasking, like chopping salad ingredients while waiting for the chicken breast to cook. But totally doable. #mexicanchickensalad #mexicansalad #mexicanrecipe #saladrecipe #cookitrealgood #mexicancuisine #healthyeating
Gigi Hadid Pasta 🫕🍴 Maybe this is the closest I’ll ever get to Gigi Hadid, hahaha. This Gigi Hadid Pasta is actually just a version of the classic Italian-American dish, penne alla vodka.

Plus, it's super simple to make with minimum prep time, so even if you're not a pro in the kitchen, you've got this. Here's what you'll need to make this recipe: 8 ounces or 225 grams of pasta (like penne) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, finely minced 1 small shallot, chopped (or red onion) ¼ cup tomato paste 2 tablespoons vodka (optional) ½ cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (or add red pepper flakes) ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1 tablespoon butter A handful of fresh basil for garnish OR comment with "GIGI" and I'll DM you the full recipe 😁🤗 #gigihadidpasta #gigihadid #pastarecipe #vodkapasta #pennepasta #cookitrealgood #easypastarecipe #easyrecipe

I am in a temperary apt right now and this oven cooked hot and fast I guess, and I wasn't watching. My chips came out a bit too brown, but I will eat them, the second batch, I lowered the heat and shortened the time, still a bit too brown. So, watch your oven and temp if you don't know your oven well.
