Roasted Vegetable Stuffed Pitas

Roasting or grilling PIP vegetables is one of the easiest and most versatile ways to enjoy a wide assortment of the veggies found in our produce boxes. They make for a no-fuss side dish for meat, fish, and poultry, are easily incorporated into pastas and salads, and are great for meal prep lunches because they keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.

This week’s recipe makes good use of some of our favorite veggies. Roasted vegetables, including zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers are tossed with chickpeas, feta, lemon juice, and SoCo’s Tahini & Pesto, then stuffed into warm pita halves. It’s such a simple but totally satisfying vegetarian lunch. This one’s also perfect for meal prep – you can prepare the roasted vegetable filling in advance, then stuff it into pitas (either cold or warmed) later in the week.

Ingredients:

1 zucchini, sliced into ½-inch rounds

2 bell peppers or 5-6 mini bell peppers, sliced
