Pita Wedges

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

Serving

Method

Preparing Pita Wedges

  1. 1

    Cutting the Pita

    Start by cutting each pita bread into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.

  2. 2

    Heating the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of pita; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Frying the Pita Wedges

  1. 3

    Frying

    Carefully add the pita wedges to the hot oil in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  2. 4

    Draining Excess Oil

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pita wedges from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Preparing Cinnamon Sugar

  1. 5

    Mixing Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 6

    Coating the Pita Wedges

    While the pita wedges are still warm, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over them, ensuring they are well coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serving with Honey

    Arrange the crispy cinnamon sugar coated pita wedges on a serving platter. Serve warm with a small bowl of honey for dipping.
