-
Seasoning for Meat and Vegetables: Zaatar can be used as a dry rub or seasoning for meats such as chicken, lamb, or fish before grilling, roasting, or frying. It also adds flavor when sprinkled over roasted vegetables like cauliflower, potatoes, or carrots.
-
Flavoring for Dips and Spreads: Zaatar mixed with olive oil creates a flavorful dip or spread for bread. Simply mix zaatar with olive oil and use it as a dip for freshly baked bread, pita chips, or vegetables. You can also spread it on sandwiches or wraps for added flavor.
