Yield: 4 servings (32 chips)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 4–6 minutes
Total Time: 9–11 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon marjoram
- ¼ teaspoon ground oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 whole 6-inch pitas, whole grain or white
- oil for misting or cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by mixing all the aromatic seasonings together to create a flavorful blend.
- Cut each pita half into 4 wedges, breaking apart the wedges at the fold to create manageable pieces.
- Gently mist one side of the pita wedges with oil to ensure a crisp texture. Sprinkle half of the prepared seasoning mix over the misted side.
- Turn the pita wedges over and repeat the misting process on the other side. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mix over the wedges.
- Place the seasoned pita wedges in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 330°F. Let them cook for 2 minutes.
- After 2 minutes, give the basket a gentle shake to ensure even cooking, then continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes. If necessary, give them another shake and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes until they turn crisp and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them, as they will cook quickly in this stage.
TIP:
- Keep in mind that the smooth side of the chips may appear slightly browner than the rough side after cooking.
