Homemade Pita Chips With Za’atar

If you’re looking for a great way to make unique pita chips at home, these Baked Za’atar Pita Chips are the answer! Crispy chips coated with a delicious Za’atar mixture, these will be a huge hit!

 Zaatar bread is a middle eastern delicacy called Manakish Za’atar where you bake a flatbread that is topped with a Zaatar spice mix, olive oil, and sometimes olives or cheese. It is a bit complicated to put together in a short time, but this recipe is an easy twist with the same flavors.  

One person’s favorite way to pair these may be totally different from someone else’s. For example, I enjoy eating them with a little combo of feta cheese and red peppers, but the rest of my family prefers hummus. Try it with one thing the first time you make them and pair them another way the next time!

What Is Za’atar Seasoning And What Does It Taste Like?

Za’atar is a middle eastern spice blend. It is a combination of herb seasonings including dried oregano, thyme, and/or marjoram, with sumac and toasted sesame seeds. This provides a unique woodsy, floral, tangy, and nutty flavor that is tough to explain until you taste it. 

Recipe Notes:

• This pita chips recipe is perfect for using up leftover pita bread. 
• You can use white or whole wheat pita bread for this recipe. 
• Make sure that you’ve got some Za’atar topping on each of your pita bread chips before baking them. 

How To Make Baked Za’atar Pita Chips

Baked Za’atar Pita Chips Ingredients:

3 tablespoons Za’atar spice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 pita bread

Supplies Needed:

Large baking sheet
Parchment paper or nonstick spray
Sharp knife
Large mixing bowl
Kitchen spoon or wooden spoon

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper. You can spray it with nonstick cooking spray instead if you choose. 

Step 2: Slice each piece of pita bread in half and then slice each half into four triangle-shaped pieces. 

Step 3: Place the pita triangles in a large bowl and drizzle them with extra-virgin olive oil. Mix to cover them. 

Step 4: Sprinkle the Za’atar spice mix in the bowl while moving the pita pieces around. Make sure that you’ve spread it onto each of the pita triangles.

Step 5: Spread the Zaatar pita in a single layer on the prepared baking tray and bake them in the hot oven until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 10-12 minutes. 

Allow them to cool to room temperature and enjoy them with your favorite hummus or dip!

How To Store Leftover Baked Za’atar Pita Chips

Store any leftover Zaatar pita chips in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to 5 days on the counter. 

Can I Use Store-Bought Pita Bread For Making Za’atar Pita Chips?

Yes! There is no need to bake homemade pita bread for this recipe. Use store-bought pita or leftover pita from a restaurant to cut down on your prep time. 

Can I Make Za’atar Pita Chips Without An Oven?

Yes! You can make these in the air fryer. If you have a small air fryer you will want to make them in small batches, but you should be able to make them all at once if you have a large air fryer. 

Pour your coated pita triangles into the air fryer basket and bake them at 325 for 8-9 minutes, being sure to shake the basket halfway through to make sure that everything cooks evenly.
