Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using kitchen scissors or sharp knife, cut 4 pitas as if slicing pizzas, creating 8 small triangular pieces from each pita (32 triangles total).
Arrange triangle pieces on baking sheet, making sure not to stack or overlap triangles. Set baking sheet aside.
Add ⅓ cup olive oil and ½ teaspoon sea salt to small mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until combined.
Lightly brush oil mixture over tops of pita triangles, then flip each triangle over and brush oil on other side.
Place baking sheet in preheated oven. Bake pitas 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn pitas.
Once pitas are browned and crisp, carefully remove baking sheet from oven and set aside.
Optional: if desired, sprinkle za'atar to taste over pita chips immediately after removing baking sheet from oven.
Let pita chips cool completely, then serve as desired.

If you're using very thick pitas or pita pockets, you may need to bake them a little longer that indicated here.
The pita chips will crisp more as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them.

Add a little paprika and cumin to the oil mixture.
Replace the oil with melted butter and add in cinnamon and brown sugar to make "churro" pita chips.
For more of an Italian flavor, add Italian seasoning or a little dried parsley and oregano to the olive oil.
