ROASTED VEGGIE PITAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl, place zucchini, summer squash, onion, mushrooms, and sweet pepper. Add oil, salt, and black pepper; toss to coat. Spread vegetable mixture evenly in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Divide roasted vegetables among pita bread halves; drizzle with salad dressing. Top with shredded cheese. If desired, place filled pitas on a baking sheet and bake in the 450-degree F oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts.

THE ULTIMATE VEGETARIAN PITA SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for pickled carrots. Set aside for at least 5 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients for dill yogurt sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Wrap a damp paper towel around the pita bread and microwave until just warmed (about 10 seconds per pita). This will make it more malleable and less likely to break.
• To assemble the sandwiches, layer about 2-3 tablespoons of the hummus, yogurt sauce, and tabbouleh, with some greens, tomato, and carrots, in that order, on each pita. Carefully wrap the pita around the ingredients. If it seems too messy or like it's going to break, wrap it in foil or parchment to keep it together.
