Crispy Zaatar Pita Chips (Printable)

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.

02 - Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. For thicker 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 incorporated.

04 - Lightly brush each pita triangle with the za'atar oil mixture on one side, ensuring even coverage.

05 - Place the pita pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even baking.

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

07 - Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet before serving.

01 -

They go from pantry staples to crunchy, fragrant magic in under 25 minutes flat.
The za'atar coating makes your whole kitchen smell like a Levantine bakery, and nobody believes how easy they are.

02 -

They burn in the last two minutes, so start checking at the 10 minute mark and never walk away from the oven.
Separated single layer pita chips bake twice as fast as double layered ones, so if you split them, subtract a couple minutes.

03 -

If your za'atar blend already contains salt, cut the added salt in half or skip it entirely to avoid overpowering the spice.
Brushing the triangles on both sides instead of one gives a more even flavor, but only do this if you are using a very light hand with the oil.
