Transform simple pita bread into a delicious, crunchy snack with the irresistible flavors of Betty's Sweet and Smoky BBQ Rub. These BBQ pita chips are perfect for dipping, snacking, or serving at your next gathering.
Ingredients
- 4 pita bread rounds
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons Betty's Sweet and Smoky BBQ Rub (adjust to taste)
Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Pita Bread
Cut each pita bread round into 8 wedges. You can do this by first cutting the pita into quarters and then cutting each quarter in half.
If the pita bread is thick, you can also split each wedge into two thinner pieces by separating the top and bottom layers.
Season the Pita Chips
Place the pita wedges in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pita wedges and toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle Betty's Sweet and Smoky BBQ Rub over the pita wedges. Toss again to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Bake the Pita Chips
Arrange the seasoned pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overlapping to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as baking times can vary.
Cool and Serve
Remove the pita chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Transfer the cooled pita chips to a serving bowl.
Recipe Note
Tips:
Extra Crispy Chips: For an extra crispy texture, bake the pita chips for an additional 2-3 minutes, but watch them closely to prevent burning.
