Following on from the delicious beetroot dip I shared here on the blog earlier today, I have another simple recipe for you that is the perfect match – easy homemade pitta crisps! I’ve been meaning to try making my own pitta crisps for about a year now, after spotting bags of them in the shops sometime last year. Having made them for the first time last week, I can’t believe it took me so long to get around to making them – this is definitely a recipe I’ll be recreating time and time again, starting in the very near future!

These simple crisps went down a storm with the whole family, and didn’t hang around long at all! They’d be great for serving up at every occasion, from party food to snacks, and of course they’d be great for packing in a lunch box too. Be sure to make plenty, these pitta crisps are VERY moreish!

You can use any type of pitta bread for this recipe, I used shop-bought wholemeal pittas to save time but you could of course try making your own with my easy homemade pitta bread recipe. It’s great for using up leftovers that might otherwise be thrown away too, I’m sure we’ve all found the occasional stale pitta bread or two hiding at the bottom of the bread bin and this simple recipe is a great way to bring them back to life

Serve warm with a hummus or another dip of your choice, or leave to cool completely before storing in an airtight container until ready to use.

Note: As long as they are cooled properly before storing, the pitta bread crisps should stay crispy for at least 2-3 days.
