  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil Used to coat the pita for flavor and crispiness.

  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder For some heat in your chips.
  • 1 teaspoon Lime zest Brightens up the flavor profile.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Optional addition for a spicy kick.
  • 1 teaspoon Dill weed For a fresh, slightly tangy flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Enhances savory notes.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and your chosen seasoning blend. For plain pita chips, just use olive oil, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Cut each pita bread into triangles. For an 8-inch pita, cut into 8 to 10 triangles. For mini pitas, cut into quarters.
  4. Brush or spray both sides of the pita triangles with the olive oil mixture.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the pita chips in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook in two batches to avoid overlap.
  2. Air fry at 320°F for 6 to 9 minutes, flipping halfway. Thin pita chips usually take about 6 minutes, while thicker pita takes closer to 9 minutes. Check at the 6-minute mark.
Serving
  1. Let the pita chips cool for a few minutes before serving. They will crisp up more as they cool.
  2. Enjoy with hummus, tzatziki, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
