  • Lean Meat(d.e): 1
  • 1 small zucchini (6 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 small yellow summer squash (6 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 of a red sweet pepper, cut into thin strips (1/2 cup)

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 large pita bread rounds, halved
  • 4 teaspoons bottled vinaigrette or Italian salad dressing
  • 3/4 cup shredded smoked provolone or mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)

1. Preheat oven to 450F. 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.

2. 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 450F oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Makes 4 sandwiches.
