Ingredients
  

4 whole wheat pitas

1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 red onion, sliced into rings

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup homemade or store-bought hummus

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese (for non-vegan option)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion rings, and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the veggies gently but thoroughly to ensure an even coating of the oil and spices.

    Grill the Veggies: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once it reaches the appropriate temperature, add the marinated vegetables to the grill. Cook the veggies for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re tender and adorned with beautiful grill marks.

      Warm the Pitas: While the vegetables are grilling, place the whole wheat pitas directly onto the grill. Warm them for approximately 1 minute, flipping them halfway through to achieve nice grill marks and warmth.

        Assemble the Pitas: Begin by spreading a generous dollop of hummus inside each warm pita. Layer in a generous portion of the grilled veggies on top of the hummus. If desired, add a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish off the pitas by garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve the pitas warm and enjoy a delightful, nutritious meal bursting with flavor!
