Ingredients

  • 6-8 mini pitas 

  • 1 tsp dried parsley

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 cup homemade or store-bought hummus

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes or roasted tomatoes (I used both)

  • 2 sliced Jalapenos

  • 1/3 cup chopped cucumber

  • 3 tablespoons sliced Kalamata olives or black olives

  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • Fresh Parsley or Cilantro for Garnish

  • Salt and Pepper for Garnish

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place mini pitas baking sheet. Brush some olive oil and dry parsley evenly over each pita.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and spread a thin layer of hummus over each round, going close to the edge.
  • Top each round with equal amounts of tomato, jalapeno, cucumber, olives, red onion and feta. 
  • Sprinkle some salt, pepper and parsley on the top. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep a close eye on the pitas in the oven to ensure that they don’t burn. Every oven is different so you may require more or less time depending on your oven and the size of pita that you use.
  • Get creative with toppings! Drizzle with balsamic glaze, pesto, or yogurt sauce for added flavor.
  • Experiment with different herbs and spices. Za’atar, paprika, and chili flakes can add a touch of zing.
  • Make it a meal! Serve the mini pita bites with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying option.
