I remember the first time I made pita chips at home successfully. I felt like I had cracked the homemade chip code, with such little work. Homemade pita chips are one of the easiest snacks to make at home, and one of the best because they actually stay crispy up to a week after you make them! While I do enjoy a bag of store-bought pita chips, I love making this pita chip recipe at home because I can add extra seasoning to them and control just how crispy I want them. Total win!

Pita Bread – I make my homemade pita chips from pita bread, whether that’s bakery or store-bought. I’ve tried the fluffy ones, low carb ones, white and whole wheat ones, and they all taste incredible. Garlic powder Onion powder Ground black pepper Paprika – Smoked paprika works too! Sea salt Olive oil – Or any kind of oil.
How to Make Homemade Pita Chips
Prep the pita bread. Cut each pita into 8 triangles by cutting each pita in half, then into quarters, then each quarter in half. Combine the seasonings. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, paprika and sea salt. You can definitely customise the seasonings, but I love this combination. Brush the triangles with olive oil and seasonings. You can use a pastry brush or your fingertips to add the oil. Then sprinkle the seasoning on top. (Dry your hands first if you used them to add the oil, otherwise the seasoning mix will stick to them.) Bake your homemade pita chips, and bam, you’re done! It all comes together in less than 15 minutes, and you can easily half it or double it.
What to Serve With Pita Chips
Fact: Pita chips taste incredible by themself. Bigger fact: Pita chips taste even better with a dip. I love serving pita chips with:
Homemade guacamole Pineapple salsa Homemade hummus Strawberry salsa Pretty much any dip
You can also make pita chips part of a mezze platter with olives, Vegan Kofta, Tabbouleh, and other Middle Eastern favourites. Or, add pita chips to Fattoush Salad—homemade are so much better than store-bought in this recipe!
