PREPARATION FOR MINI PITA CHIPS & TZATZIKI

  • Preheat The Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut The Pita: Slice the pita into small triangles to create evenly sized chips.
  • Season The Chips: Arrange the pita triangles on the baking sheet. Lightly brush them with olive oil (optional) and sprinkle with dried oregano for extra flavour.
  • Bake Until Crispy: Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Prepare The Tzatziki: If using homemade tzatziki, stir well before serving to ensure an even consistency.
  • Serve & Enjoy: Arrange the crispy pita chips on a plate and serve alongside the tzatziki for dipping.

TIPS

  • Use Whole Wheat Pita: This adds more fibre and a nuttier taste compared to white pita.
  • Cut Evenly For Consistency: Slicing the pita into similar-sized triangles ensures they cook evenly.
  • Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the chips, as they can crisp up quickly. A light golden colour is ideal.
  • Customise The Flavour: Add a pinch of sea salt, black pepper, or garlic powder for more depth.
  • Enhance The Tzatziki: Stir in fresh chopped dill or a squeeze of lemon juice for a brighter taste.
  • Pair With Other Dips: These chips go well with hummus, baba ganoush, or a spicy harissa dip.
  • Make It Extra Crispy: Toast the pita chips in an air fryer for an even crunchier texture.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Sprinkle the pita chips with cayenne pepper or chilli flakes for a kick.
  • Garlic & Herb: Brush the chips with garlic-infused olive oil before baking for a richer flavour.
  • Cheesy Twist: Add a light dusting of grated Parmesan before baking for a cheesy crunch.
  • Gluten-Free Alternative: Use a gluten-free pita or flatbread for a wheat-free version.
  • Vegan Option: Ensure the tzatziki is dairy-free by using coconut or almond yoghurt as a base.
  • Lemon Zest Boost: Add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the tzatziki for a refreshing citrus twist.
  • Extra Protein: Serve with a side of spiced chickpeas or feta cheese crumbles.
  • Mediterranean Platter: Pair with olives, roasted red peppers, and marinated artichokes for a full mezze spread.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover tzatziki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The pita chips should be stored separately in a dry, airtight container.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended as the chips can lose their crispness, and the tzatziki may separate upon thawing.
  • Make-Ahead: Bake the pita chips ahead of time and store them at room temperature for up to 2 days. Prepare the tzatziki fresh for the best texture and flavour.
