  4. Step 4: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with a baking sheet inside for 20 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Arrange strips on the hot baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Step 6: Brush each strip with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp za'atar and 1/2 tsp sumac.
