Notes

  • I love preparing the candied pecans a couple of days in advance and store them in an airtight container.
  • Homemade Pita chips can be stored in a ziplock bag and will keep for a week.

  • Didn't find sumac? Simply use a 1:1 mixture of salt and sugar tossed with some chili powder and lime zest.
