Note

For extra crunch, you can brush the pita with a very light coating of olive oil before seasoning.

Whole wheat pita breads add more fiber and a nuttier flavor, while white pitas result in a lighter, crispier chip.

Store cooled pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If they lose crispness, reheat in a 350&# 194;°F oven for 5 minutes.

Feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as paprika, cumin, za'atar, or dried herbs like oregano or thyme.

These chips pair excellently with hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, or salsa.
