Notes
Cooking Notes
Coating the pita pieces evenly with oil and butter helps the cinnamon sugar stick while creating crisp edges in the air fryer. Arranging the pita chips in a single layer prevents uneven cooking.
Tips for Best Results:
- Cut the pita pieces into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Shake the bag thoroughly so the cinnamon sugar coats every piece.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Watch closely during the final minute so the sugar does not darken too much.
