Ingredients & Substitutions
For a full list of ingredients and measurements, see the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Pita Bread: For this recipe, you want the pita pocket-style bread, not the thicker Greek-style pita. For thinner chips, you can divide the pockets into halves, and for thicker chips, you can leave them whole. This recipe works with either white or whole wheat pita, and you can use full size and cut them into wedges or strips, or use mini-pita pockets and cut them in half or into small wedges for bite-sized crisps.
Butter: A little bit of butter will make the sugar and cinnamon stick. If you are trying to save calories or fat you could use a butter spray, but the sugar may not stick quite as well. A mild-flavored oil can also be used, though it won’t taste quite the same as when using butter.
Sugar: Regular granulated sugar works best for this recipe, though coarse sugar may be used if you want more texture.
Cinnamon: These cinnamon sugar pita chips are made using ground cinnamon that is mixed with granulated sugar. For different flavors, this recipe works great with blends such as apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, or a mix of cinnamon, cloves, or nutmeg.
Preparing the Pita Chips
Prepare the pita chips by brushing one side with butter and sprinkling with the cinnamon sugar mixture, then flip and repeat on the second side.
After you have coated the pita with the cinnamon topping, cut it into desired wedges or strips.
Coating with the cinnamon sugar before slicing makes the process quicker and easier than working with the individual wedges.
When baking, make sure the pita slices are in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
Storage Tips
Pita chips can be kept at room temperature in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
They should keep for about one week.
