Ingredients
Scale
Pita Bread:
- 4 pita bread
Za’atar Spice Blend:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) za’atar spice
Oil:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick surface.
- Take each pita bread and slice horizontally into two thin rounds, then cut each round into four equal triangular wedges, creating crisp-ready pieces.
- Transfer the pita triangles into a spacious mixing bowl, creating room for thorough coating.
- Generously drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the pita triangles, gently tossing with a spatula or hands to ensure every piece is evenly and lightly coated.
- Sprinkle authentic Za’atar spice blend across the oiled pita triangles, carefully rotating and tumbling the pieces to distribute the aromatic herb and seed mixture uniformly.
- Meticulously spread the seasoned pita triangles across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding overlapping to guarantee maximum crispiness.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully until the edges turn golden brown and the chips become delightfully crisp and light.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Za’atar pita chips to cool completely on the tray, which will help them achieve maximum crunchiness before serving.
