Ingredients
- 4 pita rounds (preferably whole wheat)
- 3 tbsp butter or coconut oil, melted
- 4 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Pita Chips: Cut each pita round into eight equal wedges. Arrange the pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking.
- Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
- Coat Pita Wedges: Using a brush, coat both sides of each pita wedge with the melted butter or coconut oil. Then, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides of the wedges, making sure they are well coated.
- Bake: Place the coated pita wedges back onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 13 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pita and your preferred level of crispiness. Check frequently to prevent over-browning and remove thinner or more crispy chips earlier if needed.
- Cool and Serve: Once the pita chips are crisp and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. Serve once cooled and enjoy your sweet, crunchy snack.
Notes
- Use whole wheat pita for a healthier version with more fiber.
- Butter can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
- Baking times may vary depending on thickness and oven; watch closely to avoid burning.
- Pita chips can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness.
