Ingredients you’ll need to make Homemade Pita Chips:

Pita Chips are so easy to make, you’ll never go back to store bought once you’ve made your own. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make these epic baked pita chips.

Pita Bread – You can use plain or whole wheat pita bread for these pita chips. I like to keep them with the pocket in the middle instead of separating the pita pocket which would create thinner chips. However, if you like the thinner chips then by all means separate the pockets.
Olive Oil – Use a good olive oil to coat the pita bread so it browns nicely and gives good flavor.
Herbs – This is your opportunity to add flavor or seasoning to your pita chips. I use dry basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I have also used a mediterranean spice called Za’atar which is delicious as well.

How to make Homemade Baked Pita Chips?

Prep Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make Herb Oil: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, basil, garlic powder, black pepper and salt.
Cut Pita Bread: Using a knife cut a whole pita bread into 8 even triangles.
Season: Place pita triangles in a large bowl and pour your seasoned olive oil over the pita. Using your hands, gently toss to coat each triangle with the seasoned olive oil. Then place seasoned pita bread on prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Place baking sheet in oven and bake pita chips for 8-10 minutes, until slightly browned.

Are pita chips gluten free?

If you are using store bought plain pita bread then most likely it is not gluten free. Pita Bread is made from flour which means it will have gluten in it. However, if you’d like a gluten free option. I’d recommend these.

How to Store Homemade Pita Chips?

Once pita chips have cooled, store in an air tight container at room temperature. If stored properly these homemade pita chips will last up to 7 days. However, I recommend not letting them go past 3 days so they are at their freshest and still have that nice “crunch.”
