Pita Bread Rounds: The base of our chips, they crisp up beautifully in the oven. You can use whole wheat or regular, whichever you prefer.
Olive Oil: Helps the seasonings adhere and gives the chips a golden finish.
Garlic Powder and Onion Powder: These two bring a savory depth of flavor to each bite.
Salt and Black Pepper: Essential for balancing and enhancing the flavors.
Greek Yogurt: Forms the creamy base of our dip, adding tanginess and a bit of protein.
Lemon Juice: Brightens the dip and complements the Greek yogurt's tang.
Fresh Dill: Adds a fresh, herby note that pairs perfectly with the yogurt.
Minced Garlic: Gives the dip a bold, garlicky kick.
Pair these pita chips with a platter of fresh veggies like cucumber slices and cherry tomatoes for a light appetizer. They're also great alongside a bowl of soup or as a crunchy salad topping.
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!
