Ingredients
- 2 pita rounds, sliced in half crosswise and separated to make 8 single-layer pita halves
- ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided

- 3 medium lemons, juiced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the pita slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with ¼ cup olive oil. Sprinkle with the za'atar and bake until golden-brown, about 7 minutes. Set aside to cool, then crumble into small pieces.
