Marissa's MediterraneanDitch the bag and make these shatteringly crisp, golden pita chips tossed in a vibrant blend of dried oregano and sea salt. They're the ultimate wholesome crunch for your favorite hummus!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Make sure the oven is fully preheated so the chips get crispy instead of chewy!
In a large wooden salad bowl, whisk together the olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
Using a large bowl gives you plenty of room to toss the chips without breaking them.
Add the pita triangles to the bowl and toss gently with your hands or a large spoon until every piece is evenly coated in the herb oil.
Don't be afraid to get your hands a little oily here; it ensures the best flavor coverage!
Spread the pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, making sure they don't overlap.
If they overlap, they'll steam instead of crisping up. Give them space!
Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Watch them closely in the last 2 minutes as they can go from golden to burnt very quickly!
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Patience is a virtue! Cooling is what gives them that signature snap.
This is my favorite way to use up extra pita bread! The key is to get them really thin so they shatter when you bite into them. If you don't have a wooden salad bowl for tossing, any large bowl works, but there's something so satisfying about the sound of crunchy chips hitting wood! These stay fresh in an airtight container for up to 3 days, making them a perfect wholesome snack for school lunches.
