Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large pita pockets (whole wheat or regular white)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut each pita pocket into 8 triangles by halving it, then cutting each half into quarters. Separate the two layers inside if possible.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
- Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Lightly coat each pita triangle with melted butter using a pastry brush or fingers.
- Toss the buttered pita chips gently in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Place pita chips in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Transfer chips to a wire rack to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
Separate pita layers for lighter, crispier chips. Use fresh cinnamon for best flavor. Avoid over-buttering to prevent sogginess. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Chips stay crisp for 2-3 days stored in an airtight container. Can freeze prepared chips and air fry from frozen with extra 1-2 minutes cooking time.
