For the pita chips

  • Place the pita in the basket of the air fryer.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp and golden.

Notes

For toasting in the oven, spread the seasoned pita on a large baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C/ 400°F for 10 – 12 minutes. I use tomatoes or cherry tomatoes alternatively depending on what I have on hand.
