Preparing pita bread

At the preparatory stage, you need to fold the pita bread in several layers (3-4). Cut into whatever shape you like, but keeping the size of one element slightly smaller than a matchbox. Some people like diamond-shaped chips, others like the wavy shape that can be obtained if you use special culinary scissors for the cutting process.

Among the main possible options are preparation:

in the microwave (very quickly);
in a frying pan;
in the oven (“classic”).

It is important not to overcook.

Spicy pita chips

Spicy chips are in great demand among beer lovers. Beer “gourmets” like the piquancy, pungent taste and incomparable aroma present in such a product.

In addition to Armenian lavash, you need to take mayonnaise (sour cream), spices, finely chopped garlic and salt to taste.

The mixture must be brought to homogeneity. The greased strips are evenly placed on parchment paper, which is lined with a baking sheet.

The oven temperature should be at 180-190 degrees. A golden color will indicate readiness. Typically, the heat treatment process takes about 5-7 minutes.

Another popular beer recipe is pita chips with wasabbi. In addition to the usual green ingredients in the form of cilantro and basil, it uses halibut or salmon fillet and exotic wassabi powder.

Everything is as usual. You just need to be careful when adding wassabi to the filling. It cooks in the oven for the same 5-7 minutes.

Lavash chips in a frying pan

Cooking chips in a wide frying pan with a semicircular bottom is no more difficult than in the oven. The composition of the fill is the same as in the classic version. A feature of the heat treatment process for lavash strips coated with filling is the need for constant stirring. The color of the chips will indicate their readiness.

Cooking chips in the microwave

In the microwave, everything happens more than twice as fast. Everything requires a couple of minutes of heat treatment. Usually they take 2-3 pita breads for one baking.

Lavash squares or diamonds are coated with oil and placed in glass molds. A nuance of preparation is that the finished product should be kept inside the microwave for some time after turning off the heating.

Classic oven chips

You can cook pita chips in the oven by experimenting with the ingredients. Some chefs achieve special skills and offer their own unique recipes. Interesting options are breaded chips, olive chips, etc.

The usual “classics” do not involve any sophistication. You need to take a couple of sheets of pita bread, cut it into pieces of the desired shape as you wish, oil the “cuts”, pepper and salt, place them on a baking sheet in a thin layer, place them in a preheated room at 180 degrees. oven to the very top. After 5 minutes, the lavash will smell like bread.

Remove the baking sheet and mix the slices with a spatula. After which all this is placed in the lower part of the oven for literally 2 minutes until ready.

Sweet chips

Chocolate chips from lavash are loved by those with a sweet tooth, and children without exception like them. The “fill” for lavash cutting is prepared from finely chopped chocolate or chocolate candies, 2 tbsp. l. sugar, a small amount of vanilla and cinnamon.

Homemade sweet lavash chips in the oven are prepared according to the classic recipe. A “fill” of some chocolate, sugar, etc. is used during the mixing stage.

To caramelize the sugar, all this needs to be placed in the oven for a minute, no more. After the color changes, the baking sheet is removed, the sweet chips are sprinkled on top with the remaining part of the “fill” and, after cooling to room temperature, they are placed in the refrigerator for further cooling for an hour.

Lavash chips with greens

Store-bought “crunchies” cannot compete in taste with homemade ones. Especially if it’s lavash crunches with greens.

As ingredients, in addition to two thin pita breads, the recipe uses fresh herbs in the form of a combination of dill, parsley, basil, etc., a mixture of peppers, salt and garlic; it can be either fresh or dried in the recipe.

In all recipes for “crunchies” with herbs, it is advisable to use olive oil. Some recipes indicate deodorized sunflower oil, but this is not what it is.

Dressing with olive oil and finely ground ingredients will best give the chips the required quality. There is one caveat: it is important to keep the finished sauce with herbs for oiling the pita bread in a warm place. Only 5 minutes, but this will be enough to transfer the aroma and taste of the spices to the oil.

Each chip square (rhombus) is coated with oil. You need to coat the surface of the baking sheet with a thin layer of oil before placing the chopped future “crunches” on it. In another version, special baking paper is used for the base layer of the layout. The oven needs to be preheated to 200 degrees.

The temperature is quite high, if you are distracted, the “crunches” can burn. Depending on the stove, readiness can be achieved in 4-7 minutes. Keep in mind: if the garlic burns, the pita chips will taste bitter and the greens will take on a dark, unpleasant color.

Lavash chips with cheese

In the oven at home, you can prepare crispy pita chips with a cheesy, appetizing and pleasant-looking crust that has a golden hue. They cannot be compared with store-bought similar products; the taste of a homemade culinary masterpiece is absolutely incomparable.

All you need to create it is a stove with an oven, 2-4 pita bread, 100 grams of hard cheese, a few tablespoons of odorless vegetable oil, garlic, a pinch of finely ground pepper and salt.

Cooking algorithm

You can use both Parmesan and any other hard cheese, including Russian. It needs to be crushed using a regular grater. The smaller the cheese particles you get, the better.

When cutting lavash, you can use culinary scissors; the cutting shape can be very different: from squares to “snowflakes”.

After preparing the cheese and cutting the pita bread, you need to prepare an oil-based “filling” with garlic, pepper and other spices. When adding salt, you need to proceed carefully, taking into account the use of salty cheese in the recipe.

The lavash slices, oiled with filling, are laid out closely, one “diamond” to another, on the surface of a baking sheet covered with parchment. Some chefs advise at this stage to place a little shredded cheese on each future chip.

The final stage of heat treatment is carried out at a temperature of 200 degrees. A change in color to golden will indicate the product is ready.

Four flavors in one dish

Lavash chips in the oven, the recipe for which we invite you to study now, are unusual in that they have four different tastes:

mustard-cheese;
with olive oil and spices;
spicy cheese and tomato;
garlic-sour cream with dill.

Compound:

1-2 garlic cloves;
100 ml mayonnaise;
100 ml 15% sour cream; 1 tsp. dried dill;
100 ml tomato ketchup;
4 sheets of Armenian lavash;
1 tbsp. l. mustard;
1 tbsp. l. Abkhaz adjika;
70 ml olive oil;
Adyghe salt;
dried herbs.

Preparation:

Advice! Use a silicone pastry brush to apply the sauce. Firstly, this will make it easier for you to distribute the sauce, and secondly, decorative, attractive grooves will form on the surface of the chips.

First, let's make sauce for chips with sour cream and garlic. Salt the sour cream, add garlic cloves passed through a press and dried dill, mix until smooth.
Spread the lavash leaf and spread the sour cream sauce over it.
Using a curly knife, cut the lavash sheet into triangles and place them on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil.
For now, put the baking sheet aside and start preparing the cheese and tomato chips.
Grind the cheese on a fine grater.
Combine Abkhazian adjika with ketchup and mix. We'll get a spicy sauce.
Grease the second lavash sheet with the resulting mixture and sprinkle it evenly with half the cheese.
Cut the sheet into triangles and place on a baking sheet.
Now it's the turn of the mustard chips. Mix mustard with mayonnaise and apply the resulting sauce to a lavash leaf.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cut into triangles.
Place on a baking sheet.
And prepare the chips with olive oil. This is easy to do: grease a pita leaf with oil and sprinkle it with salt and dried herbs.
And then we repeat the algorithm of actions already known to us - cut the pita bread and place the preparations on a baking sheet.
Heat the oven to a temperature of 200°. It is better to bake the chips one at a time, since each type requires a different time. So, cook chips with olive oil for 6-7 minutes, and other types - 7-8 minutes.
Cool the finished chips and serve.

Attention! Grainy French mustard is ideal for chips.
On a note! Chips with olive oil are considered the most harmless, they can even be given to children.

Spicy lavash chips in the oven with cheese

Perhaps the most popular “store-bought” flavor of chips has always been and remains cheese. The reason for this is difficult to establish, but preparing such a snack is very easy, because you need a minimum of ingredients. It is important to choose a very hard cheese, which, when baked, will create a crust, and will not begin to actively melt and soak the pita bread with the released fat. Spices, which are also responsible for taste, are selected individually.

Ingredients:

lavash (roll) – 540 g;
Parmesan – 100 g;
ground hot pepper - 1/2 teaspoon. spoons;
ground black pepper – 1 teaspoon. spoon;
olive oil – 3 tbsp. spoons;
salt.

Cooking method:

Mix olive oil with salt and both types of pepper. If you don’t like it spicy, take paprika instead, but in larger quantities (1-1.5 teaspoons).
Roll out the sheets of pita bread, cut with scissors into not too large pieces.
Place parchment paper on the bottom of the baking sheet, grease it with oil if desired (if it is silicone-coated, this is not necessary).
Distribute pieces of pita bread over it, maintaining a small distance.
Brush each with olive oil and spices using a silicone brush. There is no need to process the pita bread too much: it should remain a little dry.
Finely grate Parmesan (or other cheese that has been aged for at least a year), sprinkle a thin even layer over future chips.
Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 220 degrees for 5 minutes. The exact readiness time is determined by the speed of melting of the cheese: when it becomes golden (but not yet brown), you can remove it.

A simple recipe for a quick beer snack

And finally, consider the option of an interesting snack to accompany beer. It is prepared very easily and quickly.

Compound:

pita leaf;
3-4 garlic cloves;
50 ml mayonnaise;
fresh herbs;
250 g salted fish.

Preparation:

We cut the pita leaf into ribbons with an approximate width of five to six centimeters.
Place the lavash ribbons in a stack.
Now we cut the ribbons into triangles.
Place the chips on a dry baking sheet and dry them in the oven for seven to ten minutes.
Let's prepare Dip - a thick sauce in which we will dip the chips. Combine mayonnaise, garlic cloves and fresh herbs.
Beat the dip with a blender.
Separate the fish from the bones and cut into portions.
This is the kind of beer snack we got. Dip the pieces of fish and chips in the sauce and enjoy the excellent taste of the dish.

Attention! The exact time depends on your oven model. Make sure the chips don't burn.
