Roasted Chickpea-Stuffed Pitas

Combine the chickpeas, vegetable oil, pepper and cumin in a medium bowl and toss to coat well. Transfer to a rimmed baking pan and bake 30 minutes or until golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally.

Wrap pitas in foil and place in oven to warm. Combine avocado and lime juice in a small bowl and lightly mash with a fork.

Stir together bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and 1 tbsp parsley in a medium bowl.

Remove pitas from oven and fill each with about 2 tbsp mashed avocado, 1/4 cup bell pepper mixture and 3/4 cup roasted chickpeas. Garnish with cumin and parsley and serve immediately.
