Giant Eagle Baked Pita Chips
What it is
These are baked pita chips, a crunchy snack made from pita bread that has been sliced and baked until crisp. They offer a satisfying crunch and a mild, slightly toasty flavor. The baking process results in a lighter texture compared to fried chips. They are a convenient and ready-to-eat option for snacking or serving with dips.
How people cook with it
Pita chips are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple snacking to being a component in larger dishes.
- Serve with hummus
- Dip into salsa
- Add to salads
- Enjoy plain
Baked pita chips are perfect for immediate consumption. They pair exceptionally well with a variety of dips and spreads, such as hummus, baba ghanoush, or a creamy spinach dip. For a more substantial use, they can be crumbled and added to the top of salads for an added textural element, or even incorporated into casseroles for a crunchy topping. They are also a great accompaniment to soups, providing a satisfying crunch.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fried pita chips, these are baked, which typically results in a less oily texture and a lighter, airier crunch. The flavor profile is generally more subtle, allowing the accompanying dips or toppings to stand out more prominently.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining baked pita chips in an airtight container or resealable bag at room temperature. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent moisture from entering, which can make the chips soft and less enjoyable.
