Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the oil, salt and spices until it forms a paste.
  • Using a pastry brush, spread the mixture on one side of the pita, making sure to brush the edges as well.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350ºF (180ºC). Cut the pita into triangles.
  • Add ⅓ to ½ of the batch to the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd too much. Air fry for 4 minutes, then stop and shake the basket, and cook for 2 more minutes, until crispy and golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the pita.
  • Let cool completely, then serve with hummus, cream cheese, or anything you like!

Notes

  • Shake the basket halfway through. This ensures even browning and the crispiest results.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you would want to add ⅓ to ½ of the batch at a time and not overcrowd.
  • Adjust the cooking time as needed. If your pita is on the thicker side, you'll need to cook it for longer. Not to mention every air fryer is different, so make sure to check the chips towards the end.
  • Let cool completely before serving. They'll continue to crisp up as they cool.
  • Don't transfer them to a container while they're still warm, or they will become soggy!
Storage
Let cool completely then store in an airtight container. Best served in the first 1-2 days, but they can last for up to a week at room temperature.
