Notes
How to make pita chips in the air fryer
It is the same method as baking them in the oven.
First, you season, oil, and cut into triangles. It is not necessary to spray the air fryer basket with oil if you have already brush oil on the bread. Arrange the triangles on the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 8 minutes at 190C/380F, 5 minutes for open pocket chips. Flip or shake halfway for even cooking. Serve with any dip of choice when it is completely cooled. Tips

- Use gluten-free pita bread to make the chips gluten-free
- Make sure you let the chips cool completely before storing otherwise the steam would let it go soggy.
- You can have individual batches of the chips flavored to taste. From the Mediterranean, Mexican, Italian, Spanish, whatever you want.
