- Skill Level: Easy
- 4 large pita breads
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cucumber, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles, and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.
- Brush the pita triangles with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chips are golden and crispy.
- While the pita chips are baking, prepare the Tzatziki dip. Start by squeezing the grated cucumber to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Chill the Tzatziki in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Once the pita chips are done baking, let them cool slightly before serving with the chilled Tzatziki dip.
- Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the pita chips seasoning for added flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother dip, use a food processor to blend the Tzatziki ingredients.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pita bread or serve the dip with fresh vegetable sticks.
Store any leftover pita chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep the Tzatziki dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Ingredient Substitutions
- If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use plain yogurt, though it might be slightly less thick.
- Fresh mint can be used instead of dill for a different flavor profile.
Pair these pita chips and Tzatziki with a fresh Greek salad or serve as part of a Mediterranean platter with hummus, falafel, and olives. For drinks, a chilled lemonade or a light mint tea would complement the flavors beautifully.
