How To Make CAVA Pita Chips

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F or set your air fryer to 350°F. Slice pita bread into even triangles for uniform cooking. Separate the pita layers if you want extra crispy chips.

Step 2: Toss pita pieces with olive oil until lightly and evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or air fryer basket.

Step 3: Bake for 8–12 minutes or air fry for 5–7 minutes. Cook until golden brown and crisp, watching closely near the end. Let cool slightly before serving so they crisp up more.
