What's the difference between Pita bread and Tortilla bread?

Pitas are soft, thicker than Tortillas with a pocket so you can fill them. Tortilla wraps are much thinner. Both can be used to make chips.

How does flatbread compare to pita bread?

Pita is made in the oven and has a pocket. Flatbread is made on the stove and doesn't have a pocket.

Is all Pita bread gluten-free?

No. Pita is made with wheat. If you're looking for gluten-free pita bread, it has to say so on the package.

Does this recipe work with regular pita bread too?

Yes! You can use any pita you have.

Do I have to separate the pita bread into two layers or can I just cut it into triangles as is it?

It depends on your preference. If you separate the pita, the chips will be crunchy. If you don't they'll be slightly crispy on the outside but still soft and chewy on the inside.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare two baking sheets.
Cut the pitas into triangles and separate them in half so they’re all just one layer.**
Spread them on the prepared baking sheets, spray or brush with avocado oil on both sides, and season with the sea salt and za’atar spice on both sides.
Make sure each triangle has a little bit of oil, this will help the chips to crisp up.
Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, flip and bake for 6-8 more. Keep an eye on them, they should be golden brown when done.
Enjoy with a dip or on their own.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 3 days.

Notes

* Check out this gluten-free vegan pita bread recipe by Dolly and Oatmeal to make your own pita.

**If you want your pita chips to be crispy on the outside but still soft and chewy on the inside, simply cut them into triangles and don't separate the two layers.

Storing: These pita chips are best eaten on the same day. I find they lose their crunch after the first day because they're made with gluten-free flour.
