Grilled Pita Chips Recipe

This Grilled Pita Chips Recipe transforms soft Greek-style pita bread into crispy, golden-brown chips seasoned with olive oil, garlic powder, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Featured on License to Grill, host Rob Rainford creates a simple, flavorful barbecue snack that’s perfect for dipping, sharing, and serving at summer gatherings.

The Inspiration

Pita bread is a staple of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, appreciated for its versatility, soft texture, and ability to complement a wide range of dishes. Traditionally served alongside grilled meats, fresh vegetables, hummus, and flavorful dips, pita bread can also be transformed into a delicious crunchy snack.

On License to Grill, Rainford demonstrates that the grill can be used for more than preparing traditional barbecue main courses. Simple ingredients such as bread, olive oil, and seasonings can become flavorful appetizers with minimal preparation.

Whether served alongside creamy hummus, fresh salsa, or a flavorful yogurt dip, these garlic and sesame pita chips offer a delicious combination of crunch, savory seasoning, and lightly toasted flavor.

Ingredients

1 package of Greek style pita bread
3 tablespoons of olive oil (45ml)
1 tablespoon of garlic powder (15ml)
4 tablespoons of sesame seeds (60ml)
1 teaspoon of pepper (5ml)
1 teaspoon of salt (5ml)

Method

Cut the pita bread into triangles and toss in a bowl. Combine oil and garlic powder in a small bowl. Pour over pita triangles. Season with salt, pepper and sesame seeds.
Place on the grill turning once the underside has turned a crisp golden brown.
Continue until all the pita chips are finished.

Serving Suggestions

For a classic Mediterranean-inspired appetizer, serve the pita chips alongside creamy hummus. The smooth texture of hummus contrasts beautifully with the crunchy pita, while the garlic and sesame seasoning complements the dip’s savory flavor. Roasted red pepper hummus or lemon-garlic hummus also makes an excellent pairing.

For a colorful appetizer platter, arrange the pita chips alongside sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and fresh vegetables. This Mediterranean-style presentation is particularly suitable for backyard gatherings because guests can choose their preferred combinations.

For parties, serve the chips with a selection of dips, including baba ganoush, fresh tomato salsa, or a creamy herb dressing. Their sturdy texture makes them convenient for scooping thicker dips while adding a savory crunch.

Final Thoughts

This Grilled Pita Chips Recipe proves that simple pantry ingredients can be transformed into a delicious homemade snack with the help of an outdoor grill. Perfect for entertaining or enjoying as an everyday snack, this easy grilled pita chips recipe brings Mediterranean-inspired flavors to outdoor cooking.
