Crispy, golden homemade pita chips made in the air fryer in about 8 minutes. Season with garlic and herbs and serve with hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pita breads (white or whole wheat)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Cut each pita into 8 triangles. If using pocket pita bread, separate the two layers for thinner, crispier chips. Leave single-layer flatbread pita whole for thicker chips.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the pita triangles with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until every piece is lightly coated.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
  4. Working in batches, spread pita chips in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the basket at the halfway point. Watch closely in the last 2 minutes — they go from golden to burnt quickly.
  5. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 3 to 5 minutes. They continue to crisp as they cool. Serve immediately or store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Notes

Seasoning variations: Try everything bagel seasoning (2 tsp), za’atar (1 tbsp), Parmesan herb (2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan), cinnamon sugar (1/2 tsp cinnamon + 1 tbsp sugar), spicy harissa (1 tsp harissa paste thinned in oil), or lemon pepper (1 tsp lemon zest + 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper).

Even chips: Keep separated (thin) and whole (thick) chips in separate batches — mixing thicknesses causes uneven cooking.

Reviving leftovers: If chips have softened, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 minutes to restore crispness.
