Baked Pita Chips

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.

  2. Cut each pita bread in quarters and each quarter in half making 8 triangles.

  3. Place the pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet pan or spread out on 2 sheet pans and sprinkle lightly with olive oil and salt.

  4. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, turning half-way through, until crisp.

  5. Remove from oven and let cool

Recipe Tips

  • Bake time will vary on the pita chips depending on the thickness of the pita.

  • For very crispy chips, the pita triangles can be brushed with olive oil on both sides.

  • Gluten-free pita can be found in most grocery stores in the frozen aisle. MyBread and Bfree are two brands we know of that are Gluten Free Certified by GFCO.org and Against the Grain pita is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.

  • Whenever thawing gluten-free pita we recommend covering the pita with clean dish towel as it comes to room temperature. Alternatively. you can warm it in 10 second increments in microwave and keep covered after removing. Frozen gluten-free pita needs to be at least room temperature to be flexible.
