- Level: Easy
- Total: 15 min
- Active: 15 min
- Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
One 12-ounce package whole wheat pita bread
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground sumac
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Stack the pita and, using a sharp serrated knife, cut into 6 wedges. Place the wedges in a large metal mixing bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil. Using metal tongs, toss the pita to coat evenly. Sprinkle in the sesame seeds, thyme, oregano, sumac, salt and pepper; toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Transfer the pita to a baking sheet and spread uniformly to ensure even browning. Place into the oven and bake until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and cool slightly.
Cook’s Note
Sumac can be found in the spice section on the baking aisle of your local grocer or at a spice market.
