Roasted Vegetable Pitas Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare and cut the vegetables. Combine in a mixing bowl all of the above ingredients, except the tomatoes, basil leaves, dressing, and pita halves. You may leave the chickpeas out, if you wish.
• Toss vegetable mixture to lightly glaze the vegetables with olive oil.
• Spoon vegetable mixture onto a broiler pan or cookie sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray. Broil 5 minutes, add tomatoes and basil leaves to vegetable mixture and stir. Baste with additional marinade and broil for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender and lightly browned. Tomatoes and basil should be just warmed; if you prefer the tomato softer, add with vegetable mixture at the beginning.
• Prepare the dressing while vegetables are broiling.
• Divide the vegetable mixture evenly between pita halves. Drizzle with Creamy Feta Dressing. Serve.

• Combine all ingredients except the dill into a blender and blend until smooth.
• Scrape the sides of the blender as needed. Add more milk as needed to get a consistency that is rather thin and pourable.
