RECIPE VIDEO TUTORIAL
How to make pita chips
Start with 3 loaves of pita bread. I buy mine from Middle Eastern stores, so they are much thinner than ones you’d find in mass grocery stores. If you’re using smaller ones, you can double the amount. Cut the pita into small triangles either using a large knife or kitchen shears. Don’t worry if they’re not even – they’re homemade pita chips after all!
Arrange the pita triangles in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Some overlapping is ok since they are so thin anyways.
Toss the pita with olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper right on the baking sheet. Feel free to add other spices like paprika, cumin or sumac. But I like keeping it simple so the baked pita chips are more versatile.
You can toss them in a large bowl if you prefer. However, tossing them on a baking tray way saves on clean-up. Bake the pita in a preheated oven until the pita is light golden brown. Be sure to flip the homemade pita chips halfway through baking.
Allow the pita chips cool completely before serving. You can cool them right on the baking sheet on the kitchen counter.
What to serve with pita chips
These homemade pita chips are perfect by themselves. But you can also serve them with so many other recipes. Try them with:
- Store bought or Homemade labneh recipe
- Creamy Feta Dip
- Avocado Hummus Dip Recipe
- Homemade Ranch Dip
- They are great to serve on top of salads, like fattoush, and soups like lentil soup for extra texture!
Tips for making homemade pita chips
- Ensure that each pita chip triangle is coated with the oil mix. Each chip should be evenly coated and seasoned and this will also help them to brown evenly and well.
- Separate the two sides of pita bread if the kind you’re using is too thick. This makes them thinner so they are more ideal for dipping, and it will also help them crisp better in the oven. Ideally though, buy the thin pita bread like I’m using if you can find it.
- Increase the temperature to 400
- Use high quality extra virgin olive oil. You’ll notice such a difference with the flavor of the pita chips, especially since we’re only tossing them with a couple ingredients.
- Don’t skip the cooling process. I recommend the pita chips cool completely before serving them. They become more sturdy and crispy as they cool. Don’t cover and store the pita until they are completely cooled.

Made this dish among other dishes from Yumna’s, and it was yet another big hit like the other dishes! Many thanks Yumna!
Meant to leave the previous comment to the 7 layered hummus dip!
Thank you so much, Fahed! You’re so welcome!!
These were totally incredible. I didn’t expect it but I made 3 and all done in one night. I used EVOO, garlic powder and Herbemere instead of salt. It’s a organic herb/kelp salt.
Hi, my name is Fortune from South Africa. I want to sell pita chips but am not sure if I can store them for long time packaged?
To store these chips, let the chips cool completely to room temperature and store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
Delicious and so easy! I used a garlic infused olive oil, so I skipped the garlic powder and I just seasoned with coarse sea salt. The rest I followed per the recipe instructions. They’re so so much better than store bought. I served with Yumna’s amazing hummus recipe!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Hey Yumna,
This is my version of pita chips. Oh my word I’m hooked. I don’t think I’ll be buying Doritos anymore, that’s the only kind of chips I really eat. I added smoke BBQ seasoning and adobo light. I don’t use salt, so I use the adobo light seasoning, some garlic seasoning and some onion seasoning. Walla! my version of pita chips. Thanks for sharing yours. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make pita chips. Because of you, I did it thank you so very much.
Aww, so glad you finally made your own pita chips…so much healthier than store bought!
Love your recipes!!!
Aww thank you!!
Thanks for the wonderful super easy and yummy recipe! My whole family loves it!
Yay, so glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your feedback 🙂
Dear Yumna,
I always make a one gallon jar of this crispy pita chips. Two or three times a week I make Fatteh and for that I need crispy pita chips for the base.
Pita chips made at home are always a winner that you cannot go wrong with.
Many thanks for all your recipes!
