These veggie-packed pita pockets are the perfect meal for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The roasted vegetables are tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the creamy feta cheese and tucked into a warm pita pocket.
The inspiration for these pita pockets came to me one day when I was looking for a quick and easy meal to make for lunch. I had some leftover roasted vegetables in the fridge, and I thought it would be a great idea to stuff them into some pita pockets with some feta cheese. The result was so delicious that I knew I had to share the recipe with the world.

The roasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables, and the feta cheese adds a creamy richness.
The pita pocket is the perfect vessel for holding all of the ingredients together.
