Crispy Zaatar Pita Chips (Printable)

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

# What You'll 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.

02 - Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. If using thick pita, separate into single layers for extra crispiness.

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

04 - Lightly brush one side of each pita triangle with the za'atar oil mixture using a pastry brush.

05 - Place the pita pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, brushed side up.

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

07 - Remove from the oven and let cool completely before serving.

01 -

They crisp up in the oven with almost no effort and taste far better than anything from a store shelf.
The za'atar coating is fragrant and versatile, working beautifully with whatever dip you happen to have on hand.

02 -

Watch the oven like a hawk in the last two minutes because they go from perfectly golden to burnt in what feels like a single breath.
Separating doubled pita into single layers was a game changer I discovered by accident, producing chips twice as crisp in half the time.

03 -

A tiny pinch of sumac or chili flakes added to the oil mixture takes these from great to the thing everyone asks you to bring to every party.
Let the chips cool completely before storing, because even a little trapped warmth will turn them soft overnight.
