Ingredients
- 4- 6 inch whole wheat pita bread
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Everything but the Bagel Seasoning blend
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Cut each of the pita breads in half, straight down the middle. Cut each half into 3 equal triangles. (A pizza cutter would make this very easy.)
Lay the pita triangles in a single layer on a cutting board or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
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.
Cook the chips for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the basket from the fryer and check the chips. You should have crispy air fryer pita chips that are golden brown.
If you want to achieve the very crispiest results, you can cook the chips for an additional minute.
Serve the warm pita chips with your favorite dip.
