Recipe Back Up #2


Another go-to recipe for me is my Roasted Veggie Pitas. I didn't find this recipe anywhere, i don't even know if you can call it a "recipe" as it's just some roasted veggies, with cooked brown rice (i like some arugala as well) stuffed into some pita bread halves.



The veggies i usually use are mushrooms, onions (of course), red bell peppers, brussel sprouts quartered (don't turn up your nose, just trust me), and cubes of sweet potato, but feel free to try anything you like. if you use mushrooms, don't chop them too small as they are gonna shrink quite a bit. The marinade is some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic, salt & cracked black pepper, fresh rosemary & thyme chopped, and a dash of Sriracha (the BEST hot sauce in the WORLD) but 
you can use whatever spices you like really. Just don't drench it in the marinade, add just enough to coat everything
Mix it all together and lay the veggies so they are flat on a baking sheet and bake (450 degrees) until everything is roasted to the taste you like (about 35- 45 mins depending on how small you cut everything up).

















The veggies are slightly sweet because of the balsamic vinegar (turns sweet when roasted) and the sweet potato and then a hint of spiciness with the sriracha hot sauce.
Toast up your pitas so they are warm and stuff ;)
