Za’atar
Za’atar is a bright, earthy Middle Eastern blend made with Sesame Seeds, Sumac, and Thyme. The Sumac adds a tangy citrus flavor, the Thyme brings an herbal punch, and the Sesame Seeds add a warm, nutty finish.
Sprinkle it over chicken, fish, vegetables, eggs, hummus, or salads. You can also mix it with Olive Oil to make a flavorful dipping sauce or a savory spread for pita and other flatbreads.
Ingredients: Sesame Seeds, Sumac, Thyme.

Za’atar Roasted Chicken
Rub 1½ pounds of chicken with 1 tablespoon Olive Oil and 1–2 tablespoons Za’atar. Add Salt if desired, then bake at 425°F for 25–35 minutes, depending on the cut.
