I may not be able to win the lottery, but I sure do know how to win food.

Two summers ago, I won a half bushel of peaches from a local farm.

This past July, I won 30 pounds of potatoes from a food conference I attended.

Then a weekend later, I won a year supply of hummus from another food retreat.

Luckily, the hummus rep also works with a pita company and offered to send me “a little bit of pita” to pair with the hummus.

Then two GIANT boxes arrived on my porch, packed full of large pita bread, mini pita bread, pita bread pockets, tortilla wraps, and bagels.

I shared with family and friends then froze the rest. Shortly afterwards, the hummus arrived.

Now I needed chips to dip but instead of buying a bag, I decided to make my own Small Batch Homemade Pita Chips. After all, I had lots of pita ready to go.

You only need three ingredients – pita bread, olive oil, and salt.

You can change the flavor using different spices like garlic powder, onion powder, even fajita seasoning.

I opted for plain olive oil and sea salt.

If you’re using small pita pockets, you want want to cut the pita bread in half so it’s a single layer of pita.

Although they are crispy after baking, I will warn you:

Unless you’re going to be eating the pita chips right away, I highly suggest storing them in an airtight container as soon as they finish cooling.

If left sitting out too long, they get stale quicker. I recommend baking the day of or the night before you want to use them.

Need dip ideas? I highly recommend making Chicken Fajita Dip, Spinach Ranch Dip, and Creamy Onion Dip.

    Baked pitas chips are far superior to bagged and yeah, I’ve totally experienced the stale taste after letting them sit for too long.

    The description of “a little” pita chips and the accompanying photo made me laugh out loud :) It’s Pita For Days! (or is that years?) Your fajita seasoning is a great idea for pita chips, especially in the Fall for Football- thanks for that link!

    This recipe is great! My daughter loves those bags of pita chips that are pretty darn expensive so I will make these and you are correct, they WILL be perfect this evening for the football game, especially for her.

    BTW – you ARE lucky in food contests! Wow, that’s your super-power!
