Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 sliced zucchini, 1 cut red bell pepper, and 1 cubed eggplant with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp za'atar spice blend and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well for the yogurt sauce.
  3. Step 3: Warm 4 flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute per side until pliable.
  4. Step 4: To assemble, spread 2 tbsp of the za'atar yogurt sauce on each flatbread, top with a generous portion of the roasted vegetables, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top, then fold the flatbreads and serve immediately.
