Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup light olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ Tablespoon kosher salt
  • 12 ounces Pita Bread equal to 5 rounds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat air fryer to 375°F.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup light olive oil, 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning, and ½ Tablespoon kosher salt.
  • Brush the oil mixture onto both sides of each pita round (12 ounces Pita Bread).
  • Use the oil mixture to coat each pita wedge. Add more oil if needed.
  • Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut pita rounds into 8 wedges each.
  • When the air fryer is preheated, carefully place pita wedges into the air fryer basket in a single layer. It’s okay if the pita wedges touch, but avoid overlapping.
  • Air fry 4-5 minutes until crispy to your liking.
  • Remove from air fryer to cool.
  • Continue air frying remaining pita wedges in same manner. Check on these remaining batches at 4 minutes as they may cook a little faster than the first batch. Once done, serve and enjoy!

Notes

⚠ Avoid using parchment paper for this recipe. The pita chips are not heavy enough to hold down the parchment. If the parchment flies up into the burner it will cause a fire.
  • To achieve the perfect crispness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. If you overcrowd the air fryer basket the hot air may not circulate properly, resulting in chips that are too soft.
  • Use tongs to reach into the hot air fryer basket to prevent burns.
  • Cook time may vary depending on your specific air fryer. As always, use the cook time as a guide until you are more comfortable with your specific brand of air fryer.
  • When cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
