A simple and satisfying snack featuring crispy cinnamon sugar pita chips paired with a smooth, sweet honey cream cheese dip. Perfect for quick entertaining or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large pita pockets (preferably fresh or a day or two old; whole wheat optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut each pita pocket into 8 triangles by slicing in half, then quarters, creating chip-sized pieces. Gently separate pockets if present.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until liquid (about 20 seconds in the microwave).
  4. In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon and stir until blended.
  5. Lightly coat each pita chip with melted butter on both sides using a pastry brush or spoon.
  6. Toss the buttered chips in the cinnamon sugar mixture until each chip is coated.
  7. Arrange the coated pita chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes for golden brown edges and crispness. Bake longer in 2-minute increments if needed, watching closely to avoid burning.
  9. Cool the chips completely on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes to harden and maintain crispness.
  10. While chips bake, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust honey to taste if desired.
  11. Serve pita chips with honey cream cheese dip alongside.

Notes

Brush pita chips with just a thin layer of melted butter to avoid sogginess. Cool chips completely on a wire rack to maintain crispness. Re-toast chips at 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes if they soften. For extra flavor, sprinkle flaky sea salt on chips right after baking. The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving.
