Ingredients

4 whole wheat pitas

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)

A pinch of salt

Optional: 1 tablespoon honey for extra sweetness

Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra flavor

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your pita chips will become perfectly crispy.

Prepare the Pitas: Carefully cut each whole wheat pita into eighths, creating triangle-shaped chips. You can separate the pita rounds for extra crispiness if desired.

Mix the Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until fully combined.

Coat the Pita Chips: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the melted coconut oil (or butter) over the pita triangles. If you're using honey and vanilla extract, add them at this stage. Toss the pita chips gently until they are evenly coated in the liquid.

Add Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the coated pita triangles. Toss again until all pieces are well-coated with the cinnamon sugar mix.

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated pita triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Avoid overcrowding to ensure that they crisp up properly.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pita chips are lightly golden and crunchy. Make sure to flip them halfway through for even browning.

Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Enjoy your crunchy cinnamon pita chips as a snack on their own, or serve them with yogurt, hummus, or any dip of your choice!
