Crispy Zaatar Pita Chips (Print Version)

Crispy baked pita triangles coated in za'atar spice, perfect 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 (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Cut each pita bread into 8 triangles. If the pita is thick, 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 each pita triangle on one side 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 the chips halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

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

01 -

They crisp up in under 15 minutes with almost zero effort, which makes them dangerously easy to make on repeat.
The za'atar coating transforms plain pita into something you will crave at midnight while standing in front of an open pantry.
They cost a fraction of store bought chips and taste infinitely better.

02 -

These chips continue to crisp as they cool, so pull them from the oven just before you think they look done or you will end up with over baked shards.
If your za'atar has been open for more than six months, toast it dry in a pan for thirty seconds to wake up the oils before mixing.

03 -

If your pita keeps tearing when you try to separate the layers, warm it in the oven for thirty seconds first and it will peel apart obediently.
Double the batch and freeze the unbaked, brushed triangles between sheets of parchment for fresh chips on demand any night of the week.
