  • Onto the pita chips.
    Preheat a deep fat fryer to 160°c.
    Cut the pita breads into triangles, you should get around 6 out of each pita.
    Deep fry for 4-5 minutes or until crispy & golden brown, turning the pitas over every minute or so. Depending on the size of your fryer, you'll have to do this in 3-4 batches.
    Once each batch is cooked, leave to drain for a minute then transfer to a large mixing bowl & season with sea salt. Place the chips onto a baking tray & leave to cool completely.

    Heat a deep fat fryer to 180°c.
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flours, cayenne, paprika & garlic granules.
