Equipment

Air Fryer
Large freezer bag
Small mixing bowls
Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

4-5 pita bread rounds
¼ cup butter melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
whipped cream cheese dip for serving

Instructions

Cut each pita bread round into 4 triangles.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon.
Place the pita triangles in a large freezer bag.
Drizzle the olive oil over the pita triangles inside the bag. Seal the bag and shake well until all pieces are evenly coated with oil.
Open the bag and pour in the melted butter. Add the cinnamon-sugar mixture and seal the bag. Shake well until all pita triangles are thoroughly coated with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the coated pita triangles in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Serve the cinnamon pita chips with whipped cream cheese dip on the side.
