Air Fryer Pita Chips
These air fryer pita chips are perfectly golden and satisfying. They're a quick, crowd-pleasing snack that pairs wonderfully with your favorite dip.
Equipment
- kitchen scissors
Ingredients
- 4 rounds Pita Bread
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Za'atar Seasoning (optional)
- Hummus, for serving
Instructions
- Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut each pita round into 8 triangular wedges, like you would slice a pizza. If the pita is thick enough to split, separate each triangle at the fold to create thinner chips that will get extra crispy.
- Place all the pita triangles in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss well, making sure both sides of each triangle are lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the pita triangles and toss again until evenly coated. Add the za'atar if using for a more herbaceous, Middle Eastern flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Arrange the pita triangles in the basket in a single layer with minimal overlapping. You will need to cook in 2 to 3 batches for the crispiest results.
- Air fry for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket once at the halfway mark. Watch them closely during the last minute, as they can go from perfectly golden to too dark very quickly. The chips should be evenly golden brown and feel crisp to the touch.
- Remove the chips and let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes. They will crisp up even more as they cool. Repeat with the remaining batches.
- Serve the pita chips alongside hummus, baba ganoush, or your favorite dip. Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
