Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 cup hummus
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the red bell peppers and zucchini into thin strips. Slice the red onion into wedges.
Place the bell peppers, zucchini, onion slices, and cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.
Warm the pita bread in the oven for about 2-3 minutes or until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous layer of hummus inside each pita pocket.
Fill each pita with the roasted vegetables and drizzle with the tahini sauce.
Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
