Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2–4 fresh or slightly stale pita breads
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (light brushing)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Optional Seasonings
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon za’atar
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon parmesan or nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or chili flakes
Instructions
- Prep Your Pita: Cut the pita bread into wedges or bite-sized pieces. Thinner slices will crisp faster and more evenly. Lightly brush each piece with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt and any optional seasonings you desire.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and run it for about 3 minutes to ensure the pitas crisp quickly without drying out.
- Air Fry in Batches: Place the pita pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space for air circulation. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crisping.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the Air-Fryer Pita chips rest a few minutes after cooking. This allows them to firm up perfectly, making them ideal for dipping or as a crunchy topping.
Notes
- Use slightly stale pita bread for crispier chips.
- Adjust seasoning to taste; try different herbs and spices for variety.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- These chips store well in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
