Zaatar Pita Chips (Printable Version)

Crispy baked pita triangles coated in aromatic za'atar spice, ideal for snacking or pairing with dips.

# What You Need:

01 - 4 whole wheat pita breads

02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil

03 - 2 tablespoons za'atar spice blend

04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

02 - Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. For thicker pitas, carefully separate into single layers to achieve maximum crispness.

03 - In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, za'atar spice blend, and sea salt. Stir until well blended.

04 - Using a pastry brush, lightly coat one side of each pita triangle with the za'atar oil mixture.

05 - Place the coated pita triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

06 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through, until golden brown and crispy throughout.

07 - Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet before serving. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

01 -

These chips go from pantry staple to party worthy in under twenty five minutes flat.
The za'atar coating creates a flavor that is somehow both earthy and bright, nothing like store bought chips.
You probably already have everything you need sitting in your kitchen right now.

02 -

Watch the chips closely after the ten minute mark because they cross from golden to burnt with alarming speed.
Splitting thick pita into single layers is the single biggest secret to getting that perfect snap instead of a chewy texture.

03 -

If your pitas are slightly stale, a light mist of water before brushing with oil revives them beautifully.
Double the batch because the amount of effort is exactly the same but the chips vanish twice as fast as you expect.
