Servings: 2
- 1 large pita bread can use wholewheat pita bread
- 1-2 teaspoon Oil
- Salt as per taste
Preheat the air fryer to 160°C or 320°F for 5 minutes.
If using pita pockets, leave them intact for thicker, sturdier chips or carefully separate the two layers for thinner, crispier chips. Cut the pita into evenly sized wedges.
Lightly brush, spray, or toss the pita wedges with oil. Add salt and your preferred seasoning.
Arrange the pita wedges in a mostly single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes. Shake the basket or turn the chips after about 4 minutes. Start checking thin pita chips at 6 minutes and remove any smaller pieces that brown early.
Transfer the chips to a plate or wire rack. Let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes:
Pita chips become crisper as they cool, so avoid overcooking them.
Separated pita layers cook faster than intact pita pockets.
Store completely cooled chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
To refresh soft chips, air fry at 150°C or 300°F for 1 to 2 minutes.
