Homemade Za’Atar Spice Mix

There are only six ingredients in this spice mix, but it comes out deliciously fragrant and tasty every time.

Dried thyme: This herb gives the Za’atar mix an earthy flavor.

Roasted cumin seeds: It’s important to choose roasted seeds (or roast them yourself) because they bring out much more nutty, rich, and aromatic flavors.

Sumac: If you’ve never used Sumac before, it has a bit of a tangy tartness to it that’s delicious when paired with more earthy flavors.

Sesame seeds: Another one you want to toast to bring out the best flavor.

Salt and pepper: Adjust these to suit your taste in this spice mix.
