Instructions
Prep the Pita Bread
Cut the pita bread into wedges or strips. You can use a knife or kitchen scissors to make clean cuts.
Season the Pita Chips
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the mixture over the pita pieces, making sure to coat each piece evenly. You can use a brush or your hands to spread the seasoning.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Air Fry the Chips
Arrange the seasoned pita pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
Serve
Once the chips are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh lemon zest or extra oregano for extra flavor. Serve with your favorite dips or enjoy on their own!
Notes
Storage: Store leftover pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add chili flakes for some heat or Parmesan for a cheesy touch.
Air Fryer Variation: Air fryers vary in heat intensity, so keep an eye on the chips to ensure they don’t burn. If needed, adjust the time slightly.
Optional Toppings: For a burst of freshness, add some freshly grated lemon zest or additional dried herbs before serving.
