Seasoned and baked pita chips – perfect for dippin’!

Buttery Garlic Rosemary Pita Chips

If you love hummus like my mom does, you know that not any dipping chip will do. Tortilla chips might do in a pinch, but the proper dipping vessel to get that amazing dip to your mouth is one made from Pita Bread.

What Exactly Is Pita Bread?

Pita bread is a yeast-levened flatbread popular in the Mediterranean and Middle East. It’s usually circular in shape and puffs up like a ball while it’s baking, but then deflates to lie flat again. As a result of this way of baking, there is a natural split inside the bread that forms pockets – perfect for stuffing!

While I love pita bread on its own, I wanted to take it another step and make my own seasoned homemade pita bread chips! Making these herbed garlic pita chips couldn’t be more simple.

Pita Chips Ingredients

Pita bread – If you’re not making your own pita bread, purchase the freshest you can find. That way you’ll magnify that flavor and tastiness even more!

Butter – I used salted butter. You can use unsalted if you prefer, but I find that a bit of salt in the butter really helps in adding to the flavor of these rosemary garlic pita chips.

Rosemary – With these chips, I used a rosemary powder. I prefer it with these chips because I feel it spreads the herby flavor around a bit more than using fresh rosemary. But if that’s what you have on hand, it will be totally fine.

Garlic – So, while I like garlic, I don’t LOVE garlic. I used a small amount of minced garlic, but if you are a garlic lover, feel free to add as much as you’d like.

Parsley – Using dried parsley helps add to that herby flavor.

How to Make These Seasoned Garlic Rosemary Chips

1. Make the seasoning butter
2. Spread it over the entire surface of the pita
3. Cut the pita into pizza slice shapes
4. Place them on your baking sheet and broil
5. Flip them halfway through to toast the other side.

So you see that these homemade pita chips are crazy simple to make. I hope you try them because while regular pita bread is great for dipping, these baked pita chips take the dip to a whole new level!

Storing Freshly made Pita Chips

When it comes to storing these chips, I prefer to use a large container that has a lid, or even an old bread bag will work well. Countertop storing is fine for a day or two, but if you plan on keeping them longer, storing them in the fridge for a week or two would be the best.

I think the texture would be affected the longer you keep them in the fridge because of the chance that a humid atmosphere could make them a bit soft.

If you even have any leftovers to freeze, keep them for only up to a month in an air-tight container.

What can I use these Herbed Pita Chips with?

I use them mostly for dip, like my White Bean Mediterranean Hummus as well as my Spicy Tuna Dip that goes like wildfire at any potluck I bring it to!

Using these pita chips with this absolutely amazing Garlic and Herb Baked Brie pairs so well because they echo the garlic and herb flavors in both. And let’s be honest – the delicious chips are the ideal vessel to get this amazing brie into our mouths, right?!

You could also use them in place of ANY cracker. So serving them with soups like this Slow Cooker Cream of Mushroom soup or this Hearty Beef and Rice Soup would be excellent. Also, consider serving them alongside chili or even as a side for some sandwiches or quiches!
