Steps
- 01Cut each pita into 6 wedges, like cutting a pizza.
- 02If the pita is thick, split each wedge in half by separating the two layers. Thinner chips crisp better.
- 03Toss or spray with olive oil and season.
- 04Ready for the air fryer. Slight overlapping is okay since they shrink, but don't pile them.
Splitting thick pita into single layers makes a huge difference. A double-layer pita chip is bready in the middle. A single-layer chip is uniformly crunchy. Takes an extra minute of prep and is worth every second.
