This za’atar spice recipe is easy to make at home from scratch with just four ingredients and is a great substitute for store-bought. While in Lebanon wild thyme is used, regular thyme from the supermarket or your garden makes a fine substitute. Za’atar refers both to the thyme plant itself, as well as this spice mix.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon sumac powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until just golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 2
Combine sesame seeds, thyme leaves, sumac, and salt in a bowl and stir until well combined.
Cook’s Notes:
Za'atar spice mix can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
