Before we start
Use Fresh Pita: For crispy chips, use fresh or slightly stale pita bread. Fresh pita has the best texture for baking.
Cut Evenly: To ensure even baking, cut the pita bread into uniform triangles. This helps them cook at the same rate.
Customize the Seasoning: You can add other spices like cumin, chili powder, or za'atar for a unique twist. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Watch While Baking: Pita chips can go from crispy to overcooked quickly, so monitor them closely as they bake.
Serve with Dips: These pita chips pair beautifully with hummus, tzatziki, or a yogurt-based dip for a delicious snack.

Prepare Pita Bread
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the pita bread into 8-10 wedges depending on the size of your pita. Separate the two layers of pita to make the chips more crispy.
Season Pita Chips
Step 2: Take a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk it. Brush the mixture evenly over both sides of the pita wedges. You can also drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the seasonings directly onto the wedges and coat them.
