Savory Pita Chips with Herb Dip Recipe Walkthrough

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While that's warming up, grab your pita rounds and slice each one into 8 triangles. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This is your flavorful coating for the chips. Brush each pita triangle with the mixture, making sure both sides get a nice coating.

Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you'll want to flip them halfway through to get them evenly crispy and golden.

While those are baking, let's whip up the dip. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, and a touch of salt. Stir until everything's well mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Once the chips are out of the oven, serve them warm alongside your freshly made herb dip. Enjoy!
