How to Meal-Prep

Roast & Chop the Veggies

This easy Sheet-Pan Roasted Root Vegetables recipe works well for this sandwich. You can enjoy the veggies warm, but make sure they are cool enough to handle before you chop them. If you’re prepping for the week, let them cool completely before storing to prevent them from getting soggy. 

Make the Hummus

You can use your favorite store-bought hummus, or try our Classic Hummus instead. Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Extra hummus can be used in other sandwiches or as a dip for fresh veggies for an afternoon snack. 

Assemble the Pitas

This recipe makes 2 sandwiches, but it’s easy to double the recipe, so you can have  pitas ready to grab and go for the days ahead. Once assembled, wrap the sandwiches individually in plastic wrap. The assembled sandwiches can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. If you would like to enjoy the sandwiches beyond 4 days, keep the ingredients separate to prevent the pita from becoming soggy

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
