Ingredients
- 4 whole Pita bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Cut each pita bread into 8 equal triangles by slicing them into quarters and then halving each quarter.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and paprika, if using.
Step 4
Place the pita triangles in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the lemon-garlic oil mixture over them. Toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap to allow for even baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as ovens may vary.
Step 7
Remove the pita chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite dip, such as hummus or tzatziki, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
