Love Stacy's Pita Chips? This recipe for Pita Chips is for you!

In life, there are those who snack and those who don't. And then there's me, the girl that eats a snack while also looking for a different snack.

The secret of highly successful snackers? Avoiding the tempting call of those cellophane-wrapped, ready-made snacks that are low in vitamins, nutrients, and protein and high in calories, fat, sugar, and sodium.

Of course, I sometimes give in to a store-bought snack and I do have my clear favorites -  like Stacy's Pita Chips. I first tried them when Solal and I spent a summer in Philly and might have become a bit obsessed. But I do prefer homemade and yes, there is actually already another recipe for homemade pita chips on the blog. I am a repeat offender when it comes to pita chips.

But if you are like me and could just have pita chips and hummus for dinner every day, you realize you need some flavor variations to keep things exciting.

Here are my 4 go-to flavors, inspired by Stacy's Pita Chips:

• Sea Salt;
• Parmesan, Garlic, and Herb;
• Cinnamon Sugar;
• and Spicy

I don't want to toot my own horn but these babies taste pretty darn close to Stacy’s Pita Chips.

How to make baked Pita Chips at home:

These pita chips are super simple to make and can be whipped up in no time to impress your friends and family.

Prep the pita bread:

Preheat oven to 350F / 180C. Cut the pita into 8 wedges and place them on a baking sheet.

For making Sea Salt Pita Chips:

Brush the pita wedges with half the olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Flip the pita pieces and repeat with remaining olive oil and sea salt.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.

For making Parmesan, Garlic and Herb Pita Chips:

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, parmesan, garlic, oregano, and salt. Brush your pita wedges with half of the mixture.

Flip the pita pieces and repeat with remaining mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.

For making Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips:

In a small bowl, combine melted coconut oil, sugar, and cinnamon.

Brush pita with half of the mixture. Flip the pita pieces and repeat with remaining mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

For making Spicy Pita Chips:

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cayenne, and salt. Brush the pita with half of the mixture. Flip the pita pieces and repeat with remaining mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crispy and golden.

Let the homemade pita chips cool on the baking sheet. They will crisp even more as they cool down.

"I really regret making these pita chips from scratch instead of buying a pack" - said no one ever!

Now, get your best hummus and enjoy some healthy snacking!

What to serve with homemade pita chips:

There are so many delicious ways to eat lots and lots of homemade baked pita chips. Serve them with:

• Homemade Hummus
• Creamy Avocado Dip
• Refried Beans 
• Baba Ghanoush
• Tzatziki 
• Muhammara
• Mint Yogurt Dip 
• Chopped veggies
• Use them as a topping for a falafel bowl or salad
•  Cinnamon Sugar Chips are the perfect dipper for dessert hummus or sweet dips like this Peanut Butter Dip .

How to store homemade Pita Chips:

I keep them in an airtight container in the pantry or in a ziplock back. They’ll last about a week or so.

Tips for making this recipe for pita chips:

• Feeling creative? Cut the pita into other shapes or even strips.
• If you use regular pocket pita, you can go ahead and cut the bread in half so you have two rounds — each a single layer. This will result in thin pita slices that bake up crispier and cook a little faster than thicker pita. Awesome for solo snacking but they might not be sturdy enough for dipping!
• Thicker flatbreads, like pocketless pita, lavash bread, and naan also work great for making baked chips. These will be a little less crisp but also sturdier meaning you can serve them with your heftiest dips, like refried beans or thicker hummus.
• When baking your pita chips, make sure none of your bread pieces are overlapped so they get nice and crispy.
• When the pita chips come out of the oven, make sure to let them cool completely before serving! Don’t cover them until they do or they will get soggy due to the trapped steam. As they cool, they will begin to crisp up even further.
