Ingredients

4 whole wheat pita breads

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Pitas: Split each pita in half to create two thin rounds from each pita. You can stack them to make this process quicker.

Make the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well until evenly blended.

Brush with Oil: Lay the pita halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of the pita halves with olive oil or melted coconut oil.

Sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over both sides of the oiled pita halves. Make sure to cover them evenly for a delicious flavor.

Bake the Pita Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly!

Cool Down: Once they are done baking, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. This will help them become even crunchier.

Optional Drizzle: If desired, finish with a light drizzle of honey or maple syrup for that extra touch of sweetness.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve your crunchy cinnamon pita chips warm or at room temperature. They make an excellent snack on their own or paired with yogurt, fruit dips, or desserts.
