Equipment

1 large baking sheet

Ingredients

2 Pitas the kind with a pocket
2 tbsps olive oil
2 teaspoons za'atar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Using kitchen shears or a knife, cut around the edges of the pitas to separate them into 2 rounds each (4 rounds total).*
Brush both sides of each pita round with olive oil, sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and za’atar on both sides.
Stack the pitas on top of each other and slice the stack with a large knife (or use kitchen shears) into 8 triangles, like a pizza.
Spread the triangles in a single layer onto a large, unlined, ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for about 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned and crispy, turning them once halfway through to brown evenly. Watch them carefully as they can burn very quickly. Set aside to cool completely.
Serve on their own or with a dip such as hummus, whipped feta, labneh, tzatziki etc.

Notes

*You can keep the pitas whole instead of separating them into two halves to make thicker chips if you like. They may need an extra minute or two in the oven to get crispy.
