Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Whole wheat pita bread - A wholesome base that crisps up beautifully in the oven. I use Joseph's Bakery pitas which are 60 calories each, but any low-calorie pita works well.
- Cheddar - Melts into a golden, savoury topping for the perfect cheesy crunch.
- Sea salt - Enhances the flavour and balances the richness of the cheese.
- Olive oil spray - Helps the chips crisp up without adding too much extra fat.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Tips on Storage for Pita Chips
If you have some chips left over or are doubling or tripling up the recipe, here are some tips for storage:
- Room Temperature: Store the cooled pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them in a dry place to maintain their crispiness.
- Reheating: If you want to rewarm, pop them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) or air fryer for a couple of minutes to crisp them up again.
- Freezing: Pita chips are best enjoyed fresh, I don't recommend freezing these.

Oven Bake Crispy Cheddar Pita Chips
These Oven-Baked Crispy Cheddar Pita Chips are the perfect crunchy snack, packed with rich, cheesy flavour and golden crisp edges. Baked to perfection, they’re an easy, lighter alternative to store-bought chips—ideal for dipping, snacking, or serving alongside your favourite spreads.
Ingredients
- 60g (2oz) whole wheat Pita Bread (I use a Joseph's bakery 60 calorie pita)
- 30g (1oz) of cheddar
- cooking oil spray
- sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200c or 400f (gas mark 6)
- Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut the pita bread in half so you have two equal sized rounds or ovals. Then cut each round into rough triangle shapes.
- Line a baking tray with parchment, and scatter the pita chips on the tray.
- Spray over the top with cooking oil
- Sprinkle with the cheddar and season with a little sea salt
- Place in the oven and bake until crisp and golden (approx 8-10 mins)
- These don't take very long to go golden, so keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly otherwise.
- Serve on a plate with my pea guacamole and salsa or other choice of dips/sides
