🧾 Ingredients

  • 4 pita pockets
  • 2 tablespoons Zaatar Spice Blend
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6).
  2. Slice the pita pockets open and tear them into large chunks.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and Zaatar Spice Blend together.
  4. Lay the pita pieces rough-side-up on a flat baking tray.
  5. Brush the zaatar mixture evenly over each piece until coated.
  6. Toast in the oven for 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy.

Chef’s Tip: Watch them closely — they go from golden to burnt in seconds (and we’ve all been there!).


🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot or cold with homemade hummus or baba ganoush.

Pair with a chilled mint lemonade or light beer for the ultimate summer snack.
