Roasted Red Pepper And Feta Stuffed Pita
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Place the red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
-
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes to make peeling easier.
-
Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove the seeds and membranes, and slice the peppers into strips.
-
In a bowl, combine the roasted red pepper strips, crumbled feta cheese, chopped Kalamata olives, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss the mixture until well combined.
-
Carefully open each pita bread to create a pocket. Stuff each pita pocket with the roasted red pepper and feta mixture, dividing it equally among the pitas.
-
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, lightly toast the stuffed pitas on both sides until the bread is warm and slightly crisp, and the filling is heated through.
-
Remove the pitas from the skillet and cut them in half or serve them whole. Garnish with a sprinkle of extra chopped parsley, if desired.
-
Serve the Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Stuffed Pitas warm and enjoy.
