3-Ingredient Baked Pita Chips are the ultimate homemade snack: quick, easy, and unbelievably crunchy. Made with just pita bread, olive oil, and flaky sea salt, these chips bake up golden in minutes and pair beautifully with hummus, dips, or cheese boards.
Best of all, they’re baked—not fried—so you get a light, crispy texture without the grease. Slice your pita into triangles, toss with olive oil and sea salt, then bake until golden and irresistible. That’s it!
Fun tidbit: Pita bread has roots tracing back thousands of years across the Middle East and Mediterranean. Turning it into baked chips is a delicious way to cut down food waste and transform everyday bread into something special.
Whether you’re hosting a party, building a snack board, or just need a crunchy sidekick for your lunch, these 3-Ingredient Baked Pita Chips are endlessly versatile. You’ll never look at store-bought chips the same way again.
Recipe Yield: 48 pita chips (about 6 servings)
INGREDIENTS
3 pita breads (regular or whole wheat)
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp flaky sea salt (or to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Slice the pita:
Using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, slice each pita bread into triangles (like pizza slices). If your pita has pockets, separate each slice into two thinner triangles for extra crispiness.
3. Brush and season:
Spread the pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each triangle with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with flaky sea salt.
4. Bake until golden:
Bake for 8–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp. Watch closely in the last few minutes—they can brown quickly!
5. Cool and serve:
Let chips cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They’ll continue to crisp up as they cool. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Thin Pita for Crispiness: Thinner pita breads or separating them into single layers gives a restaurant-style crunch.
- Customize Your Seasoning: Add garlic powder, za’atar, chili flakes, or lemon zest with the salt for extra flavor.
- Watch Closely While Baking: Oven temperatures can vary. Keep an eye on your chips during the final minutes to avoid over-baking.
