Directions

10 min.
1. Step

Toast the sesame seeds in a small, dry pan over medium heat. Stir frequently and watch them closely to avoid burning. Remove from heat when they turn golden.

2. Step

In a bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds, dried thyme, ground sumac, and kosher salt.

3. Step

Blend the mixture using a spice grinder or a pestle and mortar until a coarse powder is formed. This also helps to release the natural oils from the ingredients and enhances the flavor.

4. Step

Store the Za'atar spice blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It can be preserved for up to 3 months.
