Pita chips are a crunchy snack made by baking or frying pieces of pita bread, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine. Typically crafted from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, and salt, they are sliced into triangular shapes and seasoned with spices or olive oil for added flavor. Pita chips are often enjoyed on their own, paired with dips such as hummus, or incorporated into recipes. They provide carbohydrates and, depending on preparation, can offer a modest amount of fiber and protein. Oven-baked varieties are generally healthier, as they contain less fat than fried options. However, some versions may be high in sodium and contain added oils, making them less suitable for low-sodium or low-fat diets. For a more nutritious option, look for whole-grain pita chips or make them at home to control ingredients and seasoning.
