  • In a medium bowl place pita bread. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.

TIP: No air fryer? Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C. Cut pita bread into wedges. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then bake until golden, 8-10 minutes.
