Have you made homemade pita chips before? They are so easy and delicious! They don’t last long in our house because we are a hummus and pita chip eating family. Eddie is Armenian so he grew up with hummus as a staple in his diet. My late Father-in-Law made the best best best Pita and hummus. Can you tell that I loved his!
I was blessed to be introduced to pita and hummus as a young girl – long before you could just grab a tub at the store. My Grandmother, who was a world traveler, brought back traditional recipes Turkey and the Middle East. Grandma made hers a little bland so as kids we would doctor it up when she wasn’t looking.
If you have pita bread that is starting to feel hard or tough – then it is time to make PITA CHIPS! and eat them all real quick.
I use kitchen scissors to cut pita bread….. it’s quick and safe.
Are you wondering how to make them yet???
