Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the olive oil over both sides of the pita triangles.
Combine the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning and the paprika and sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the pita wedges.
Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes to 350 degrees.
Place the pita triangles into the air fryer basket.
Let the chips cook for 3 minutes.
Remove the basket from the air fryer and give it a good shake to turn the chips over.
