Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Split each pitta in half through the middle to make 2 thin rounds.

  2. 2

    Cut each round into 6 triangles. Spread over two large baking trays without overlapping.

  3. 3

    Mix the oil with the za'atar and lemon zest. Brush or drizzle over the pitta and toss to coat. Sprinkle with the salt.

  4. 4

    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp and golden at the edges, turning the trays halfway.

  5. 5

    Watch them closely, as they go from golden to dark quickly.

  6. 6

    Cool on the trays, where they crisp up further. Store in an airtight tin for 4 days.
