Crispy Za'atar Pita Chips (Printable)
Crunchy baked pita triangles seasoned with aromatic za'atar spice blend, ideal for dipping.
# What You'll Need:
→ Pita Chips
01 - 4 whole wheat pita breads
→ Za'atar Topping
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil

04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
# How To Make:
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.

04 - Brush each pita triangle lightly with the za'atar oil mixture on one side.
05 - Arrange 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 golden brown and crisp.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These chips go from pantry staples to something you will crave every week, and they cost almost nothing to make.
- The za'atar coating makes your kitchen smell like a bakery in Beirut, and the crunch is deeply satisfying.
02 -
- The chips will feel slightly soft when you first take them out but they crisp up as they cool, so trust the process and resist eating them too soon.
- Separating double layered pita into single layers was a game changer I discovered by accident, and it turns good chips into unforgettable ones.
03 -
- Taste your za'atar before mixing it with oil because blends vary wildly in salt and intensity, and adjusting at that stage saves the whole batch.
- Brushing the oil mixture instead of tossing everything in a bowl gives a more even coating and prevents soggy spots on the chips.
