Can I use store-bought pita instead of homemade pita?

Yes. Standard store-bought large pita rounds work well for this recipe; just cut them into small wedges before baking.

How do I keep the pita chips from burning?

Bake them at the lower end of the temperature range and start checking early, since the chips can go from crisp to browned quickly. Flip or rotate the pan if your oven bakes unevenly.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Bake the chips in advance and let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container. For best texture, eat within a day or two.

What can I serve with these besides hummus?

They’re great with hummus, but you can also serve them with labneh, tzatziki, baba ganoush, or a simple bean dip.

Can I adjust the garlic and za'atar to taste?

Absolutely. Use more or less minced garlic depending on how strong you want the flavor, and add a little more The Spice House Za'atar if you want a more herb-forward finish.

Do I need to use a saucepan to infuse the garlic?

A small saucepan is ideal because it gently warms the oil and softens the garlic flavor. You can also warm the oil very gently in a skillet, but avoid frying the garlic too much or it may turn bitter.

Try Sesame Pita if your bakery has it...fab-u-lous! Serve with your favorite hummus. A little Za'atar in the hummus doesn't hurt either. Enjoy with a little red wine under a shady tree. Mmmmm.
