How to Make Za’atar

Spice jar full of homemade za'atar. this …

Za what? Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend made with thyme, sesame seeds, and lemony sumac. Add pistachios if you like crunch (hand-raised). The ways to enjoy it are endless. I’m kind of obsessed with this  Za’atar Roasted Chicken and Eggplant Bowls with Green Tahini Sauce but you can add it to anything, really.

Sprinkle on salads, bowls, or hummus, add to veggies before roasting, mix it into olive oil (for pita dipping), use as a rub for chicken, sprinkle on avocado toast (or sweet potato toast!) add to Greek yogurt for a spiced dip, or make roasted breakfast potatoes… the list goes on.

Try this za’atar recipe on these Roasted Butternut Squash Bowls or these Za’atar Roasted Chicken Bowls with Eggplant and Green Tahini.
