Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower chopped into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 4 to 6 pita breads
  • 1 cup hummus for spreading on pitas
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • a few handfuls microgreens or spring greens for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with olive oil, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  • Warm the pita breads in the oven or toast them in a skillet until soft and pliable.
  • Spread a generous layer of hummus inside each pita. Fill with roasted cauliflower, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and top with microgreens or spring greens.
  • Serve the pitas warm and enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
