Are you in the mood for a crunchy and flavorful snack that pairs perfectly with your favorite dips or just as a standalone treat? My Crispy Za’atar Pita Chips are just what you need! These chips are not only easy to make but are infused with the delightful flavors of Za’atar—a Middle Eastern spice blend that will tantalize your taste buds. Let’s dive into how you can make these delicious chips at home.
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons Za’atar spice: This aromatic blend typically contains thyme, oregano, marjoram, sesame seeds, and sumac.
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil: For that perfect crispness and rich flavor.
- 4 pita breads: This will be the base of our chips, providing a light and airy texture.
Directions:
- Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Slice the Pita: Cut each pita bread in half and then each half into four triangles. This size is ideal for dips and snacking.
- Season: Place the pita triangles in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat each piece evenly. This helps the Za’atar spices stick to the pita.
- Add Za’atar: Sprinkle the Za’atar spice mix over the coated pita triangles. Toss again to ensure each piece is evenly covered with spices.
- Bake: Arrange the pita pieces in a single layer on your prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pita chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray. This will help them crisp up further.
