If your only plan for the evening is movie night, that sounds perfect to us. Just make sure some tasty snacks are also on the docket and you’ve got a great night ahead. The right snack situation turns a casual couch hang into something special with very little effort. And these easy pita chips have some big flavor that’s exactly that.
A More Memorable Movie Night
A home-baked batch of pita chips is so much more satisfying and memorable than eating greasy chips out of the bag. And turning regular pita bread into flavorful crunchy chips is simple: Brush with olive oil, rub in fresh garlic, grab a Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Shaker, and shake on some ranch seasoning. Since it’s loaded with herbs and spices, your pita chips will bake up so tasty that you might not even need dip to go with them.
Of course, these chips aren’t just for movie night. Bake some up for your next picnic or if you need something fast but easy for an appetizer tray. They would also be fabulous crumbled onto some tomato soup or subbed for croutons in a salad.

Nutritional Info
Ingredients
- 2 to 3
pita bread rounds
- 1 to 2
tablespoons olive oil
- 3 to 4 cloves
garlic, smashed
- 2 teaspoons
Hidden Valley® The Original Ranch® Seasoning
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Paprika
Instructions
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F.
Place the pita on a cutting board. Brush with the olive oil, then rub them vigorously with the smashed garlic cloves. Sprinkle with the Hidden Valley® Ranch Seasoning, then season with salt, pepper and a bit of paprika for color. Cut each pita into 4 pieces.
Place the pita bread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake until the bread is nice and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes.
Recipe Notes
For extra-crispy, cracker-like toasts, you can split the quarters open and toast them in a single layer. Reduce the baking time a bit, and remove from the oven when the pitas are becoming toasted around the tips.
For extra garlic flavor, leave the unused portions of the garlic cloves scattered on top of the breads and let them roast in the oven while the bread crisps.
