These chips are a great finger food or appetiser option.Especially when you are entertaining.

Let me tell you why they are just too delicious

• First, Obviously they are crisp on the outside
• Second, it has this airy, almost spongy inside which also gets crispy.
• Seasoning sticking

Ingredients

3 ingredients! Period!

• Pita
• Oil
• Seasoning

Pita- I used storebought pita for this.You can also use storebought pizza bases, tortillas and naan.The taste will differ but they will make great chips too!

Oil- Any kind of oil really! I have used regular Olive Oil

Seasoning- You could use anything! I have used equal parts - Garlic powder, Salt, Thyme and Chipotle Chilli.

How to Make Pita Chips in Air Fryer

The method is very simple.The amount of time it takes to get crispy pita chips will depend on the kind of air fryer and size of the triangles.
Use this as a guide more than an absolute recipe.

Step 1: Prep

Cut the Pita into about 2 inch triangles.I usually cut along the center first and then change the angle by 25 degrees for every next cut.

Step 2: Season

Drizzle the oil all over the pita chips.You can also use an oil spray.That will give you a more even coat.Though it's not an absolute neccesity.

Add the seasoning on top and give it a toss. You can also add the oil to the seasoning and brush the pita chips.

Step 3: Air Frying

Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes if possible.It will give a more even browning.

Add the chips to the air fryer basket.I usually add about 2 layer worth of chips.

Air fry at 180 C or 365F.

Give it a gentle shake in the middle.

Seasoning Options for Pita Chips

Here are some more options to season the pita chips with.

• Ranch
• Salt & Pepper
• Sea Salt & Rosemary
• Italian Seasoning
• Curry Powder!
• Smoked chilli and salt

Storing & Leftovers

Anything crisp needs to be stored in an air tight container.These will start to get soggy about 2 hours after they are air fried.

They should last on the counter for 2-3 days.

Serving

Ah! This is my favourite bit.The first time i made these, i didnt serve them to anyone.I just sat down, without distractions and finished these with my favourite Yogurt Dip.

If you are entertaining,Serve these chips along with veggies like cucumber,carrots and celery. I suggest you make a few dips like the yogurt dip,maybe Some hummus.

If i am planning a big party,15 or more people, I would make a giant platter(or even a whole table ) of these

• Pita Chips, Crackers, Spicy chips
• Dips- Yogurt Dip/ Tzatziki, Honey Chilli Dip , Queso or Hummus , Red pepper feta dip, Bean & Corn Feta Dip
• Nuts- Almonds, Pistachios & Walnuts
• Spicy Roasted Peanuts
• Veggies- Carrot,Celery,Cucumbers
• Fruits- Grapes, Kiwi,Olives

This would be my grazing platter.I find making something like this goes a long way.More than making individual appetisers.

A Quick Note on Air Fryer

I have been using Phillips Air fryer for the past 10 years! Yes...I was one of the early converts!

It has served me very well.But this the Air fryer my brother uses and he loves it.It has 3 levels and you can use it to dehydrate and make a whole chicken!
