Ingredients:

• 4 small pitas, cut into triangles
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Coarse sea salt and ground black pepper, to season

Instructions:

1. Begin by selecting the “Air Fry” function on your air fryer and adjusting the temperature to 330 degrees F. Preheating the air fryer ensures that your pita wedges will be evenly cooked to perfection.
2. Line the air fryer oven pan with a sheet of parchment paper. This step prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup after your delicious pita wedges are ready.
3. Toss the small pitas, cut into enticing triangles, in a mixing bowl with extra-virgin olive oil. This coating will not only enhance the flavor but also contribute to the desirable crispiness of the wedges.
4. Sprinkle the garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried rosemary over the pita triangles. These aromatic herbs infuse the wedges with a medley of savory notes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
5. Season the pita wedges with coarse sea salt and ground black pepper to taste. These simple yet essential ingredients elevate the overall flavor profile of the wedges and add a delightful contrast to the crispy texture.
6. Arrange the seasoned pita triangles on the parchment-lined air fryer oven pan, ensuring they are in a single layer. This arrangement guarantees even cooking and uniform browning.
7. Air fry the pita wedges for 6 minutes, making sure to turn them over halfway through the cooking time. The result will be irresistibly golden-brown wedges that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
