Air Fryer Pita Chips
Whip up a quick batch of homemade air fryer pita chips to serve as a tasty appetizer or snack. They pair perfectly with hummus or beetroot dip!
Equipment
- Small Bowl
Ingredients
For the Za'atar:
- 1½ teaspoon sumac
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Pita Chips:
- 4 pita bread round, whole wheat or white
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for homemade za'atar in a small bowl and set it aside (Skip this step if using store-bought za'atar).
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (176°C). Carefully cut the pita bread into small triangles. Then, split the pita bread into two.
- Coat them with cooking spray and sprinkle kosher salt over the top.
- Arrange the chips into the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes.
- Shake the basket and sprinkle them with za'atar. Continue cooking for 2-4 minutes or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Expert Tips:
- After you cut the pita bread into equal triangles, separate the top and bottom layers so they crisp evenly.
- Arrange the pitas into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Work in batches for even cooking, and don't overcrowd the basket.
- Shake the basket halfway through to help the pita chips crisp up uniformly.
- Cooking the pita chips for 5-7 minutes should work for most air fryer models, but keep an eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid overcooking.
