Ingredients
  

  • 4 pita
  • Several generous sprays avocado oil (or drizzle about 1 Tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Use kitchen shears to cut the pita into ghost shapes. (If you're planning on standing the ghosts in hummus, cut somewhat flat bottoms on at least three of them.)
  2. Put pita ghosts into a large mixing bowl. Generously spray the ghosts all over with avocado oil, making sure to get all sides. (If you're not using oil spray, simply drizzle in enough oil to coat, about a Tablespoon.)
  3. Season the pita ghosts with dried basil, dried oregano, granulated onion, and salt. Use your hands or a spoon to toss the ghosts and get them evenly coated in seasonings.
  4. Put the pita ghosts into the air fryer basket. Air fry at 390 degrees until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes, stopping occasionally to flip the ghosts. (Timing will vary depending on the size of your ghosts and your specific air fryer.)
  5. Once the pita ghosts are crispy and nicely browned, remove them from the air fryer basket, and serve with hummus or your preferred dip. If serving with hummus, prop three of the ghosts into the hummus, as if they're floating across it. (It's best if the hummus is on the thick side for easy propping.)

Notes

- For extra crispiness, ensure the ghost pita pieces are in a single layer in the air fryer basket and avoid overcrowding.
- If you don't have an air fryer, bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Experiment with different seasoning blends, like garlic powder or a touch of smoked paprika, to vary the flavor of your ghost pita chips.
- Store leftover ghost pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crispness.
