Notes

For a half batch of air fryer chips (with 1 pita): They will need less time in the air fryer. Since the air will have more room to get around all of the bread, it will cook in about half the time - 3 to 4 minutes. (If you're cooking in the oven, the time will stay the same, regardless of batch size.)

For crispier chips: Once the pita are cut into wedges, gently pull the front flap from the back, making two chips out of one triangle. The chips will get crunchier, and you'll get twice the amount of dipping for the same amount of bread.

For oil-free air fried pita chips: These chips can be made out of one ingredient - pita bread. Just throw the wedges into the air fryer and jump to the cooking instructions. Or if you like, add the lemon juice & seasonings (simply omit the oil).

To bake chips in a standard oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Evenly space the pita wedges across the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stopping once halfway through to turn the chips over. You want them to be evenly browned on both sides.
