Roasted Veggie Pitas with Avocado Dip

Parmesan-Crumbed Lamb Cutlets

INGREDIENTS

For the Avocado Dip

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (go for one clove or less if you’re sensitive to strong garlic tastes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water (more as needed)
  • a handful of cilantro
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • half of a Serrano pepper (more or less depending on how much heat you want)
  • juice of one lime

For the Roasted Veggies

  • 2 heads cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 14-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1-2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper if you want spicy
  • oil oil for drizzling
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small whole wheat pitas
  • Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for topping

INSTRUCTIONS

Veggies: Pat the cauliflower and chickpeas dry with paper towels. Arrange in a single layer on one large baking sheet or two baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with spices. Give the pan a gentle shake to sort of mix things around. Roast for 15-20 minutes in the Roasting Oven, stir, and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes. The cauliflower and chickpeas should be golden brown and the chickpeas will be semi-crunchy.

Avocado Dip: While the veggies are roasting, puree the avocado dip ingredients in a food processor. Set aside.

Assembly: Spread each pita with a spoonful of avocado dip and top with roasted veggies. Sprinkle with extra salt, pepper, cilantro, and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
