Directions

5 min.

1. Step

First things first, you'll want to lightly toast the sesame seeds. This step is crucial as it accentuates the nuttiness of the seeds, giving your Za'atar seasoning an added depth of flavor. In a small pan, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until they turn golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent them from burning.

2. Step

Once toasted, transfer the sesame seeds to a bowl and let them cool off. This step is vital because mixing hot sesame seeds with the herbs could potentially wilt them and change their flavor profile.

3. Step

In a separate bowl, combine the dried thyme, sumac, marjoram, oregano and sea salt. Stir until well combined.

4. Step

When the sesame seeds are cool, add them to the dried herbs and mix well.

5. Step

Your homemade Za'atar seasoning is ready. Remember, the freshness and quality of your spices will make a significant difference in your Za'atar seasoning. Always store it in an airtight container, in a cool, dark place to maintain its freshness.
