Method
- 1
Split each pita round in half to make thinner chips. Cut each half into triangles.
- 2
Toss with olive oil, za'atar, garlic powder, and salt.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer (cook in batches).
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 4-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Watch closely — they go fast.
- 5
Cool completely (they crisp up more as they cool). Serve with your favorite dips.
Pro tip. Splitting the pitas into thinner halves gives you crispier chips. Za'atar is the authentic Middle Eastern choice; Italian seasoning is a great substitute. Store cooled chips in an airtight container for up to a week. They're perfect for hummus.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 140 calories a serving.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
