Ingredients
  

4 whole grain pita pockets

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 small 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: Feta cheese, crumbled (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Prepare the veggies: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well-coated.

      Grill the vegetables: Place the seasoned veggies on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove them from the grill and set aside.

        Warm the pita: While the veggies are grilling, you can also warm the pita pockets on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side until they are slightly charred and pliable.

          Assemble the pitas: Cut open each warmed pita pocket. Spread a generous amount of hummus inside each pocket, then stuff with the grilled vegetables.

            Garnish and serve: Top with chopped parsley or cilantro and sprinkle with feta cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
