Crispy Fried Pita Chips

These homemade fried pita bread chips are ultra crispy and can be made in 10 minutes using three ingredients: pita bread, oil, and salt.
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 large pita bread or 4 small pita bread, see note 3
  • oil for frying
  • salt to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Split the pita bread. Cut the pita bread into 2" squares using kitchen scissors. 
  • In a high-rimmed pot, fill with oil. Heat oil on medium heat.
  • Add 1 pita worth of pita pieces into the hot oil. Once the pita chips have turned golden brown, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon. Place the pita chips on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt.

Notes

  1. Once the pita chips have cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  2. I prefer to use sunflower oil or vegetable oil when frying the pita chips.
  3. Large pita bread is about 10" to 14" in diameter. Small pita bread is about 8" in diameter.
  4. Storage: Allow the chips to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
