Ingredients

4 whole wheat pita bread (or regular pita bread)

4 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for a healthier option)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a more aromatic flavor)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Pita Bread: Cut each pita bread into 6-8 wedges, like a pizza. If you're using whole pitas, you may want to separate them into halves before cutting for thinner chips.

Mix the Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it to the olive oil in the next step.

Coat the Pita Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the olive oil over the pita wedges, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Gently toss the pita wedges until they are evenly coated in oil, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over them. Toss again until the mixture is evenly distributed.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pita wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overlapping to ensure they crisp up nicely.

Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pita chips are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; you can flip them halfway through for even cooking.

Cool Down: Once they’re baked to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pita chips to cool on the pan. They will become crunchier as they cool.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these deliciously crispy cinnamon pita chips on their own or pair them with some creamy yogurt dip, hummus, or your favorite sweet dip!
