Notes
- Store any leftover pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- If you want extra crispiness, bake them for a few more minutes, but be careful not to burn them.
- For a variation, you can add spices like chili flakes, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs like thyme or basil.
- To make the recipe vegan, simply avoid adding feta or any dairy-based garnishes.
- Feel free to experiment with other breads like flatbreads or naan for a different texture.
