When bags of pita chips showed up at every major grocery store, I admit I was the first to jump on board. I loved a good bag of Stacey’s Pita chips. No denying it. That is until I started playing around in my kitchen and came up with this recipe. Seriously, there is nothing better than any form of bread coming out of your own oven, and pita chips are no exception. These homemade, toasty warm, crunchy chips ready for dipping in your favorite sauce, salsa, or hummus are out of this world. 💫
Recipe Ingredients
Pita Bread – Leftover, day-old pita bread is perfect for this recipe, so don’t toss any extra pita sitting on your kitchen counter, even if four or five days have gone by.Spices – Garlic powder, chili powder, and za’atar seasoning are what I use for pita chips, but this part of the recipe is totally customizable. Use any herb or spice you enjoy to season your chips.Olive Oil – This ingredient is indispensable if you want to get that classic pita chip crunch. 😋

Make-Ahead Instructions
You can prepare your spice mixture and cut up your pita bread ahead of time. When ready to enjoy them, simply arrange the bread on the baking pan, brush with your premade oil and herb mixture, and bake!
Serving and Storage Instructions
I love to enjoy these pita chips while they are still a little warm and fresh out of the oven, but truth be told, they are equally delicious once they cool. Definitely serve with something yummy to dip them in. Store completely cooled pita chips in an airtight container. I usually use a ziplock bag, and they stay good for about five days.
What Goes With Pita Chips
So many things go with pita chips! But let me start with my favorite dips. Definitely try pita chips with bean dip, spinach artichoke dip, or pico de gallo. All three are amazing. Another favorite of mine for pairing with pita chips is Hummus with roasted garlic. Make it homemade, and forget all about your favorite store-bought hummus. 😋
