Pita chips out of the air fryer are a real treat. Immensely better than anything from the store, not least they’re quick, healthy and you can season them as you see fit. I like to use a little ground coriander on mine when using with Middle Eastern dishes.

I like to use these pita chips sizzling hot from the fryer – dipped into home made hummus. The warm crisp chips in the cool rich sauce is a wonderful and healthy treat. For a little extra zip I drizzle on a little more olive oil and sumac to serve as well
