- 1 teaspoon dried harissa spice (see note below)
- 2 pitas, sliced in half
- 1 small avocado, diced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss chopped sweet potato cubes and arrange on a baking sheet with parchment. Toss with a little olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast until golden brown (25-30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, chop your zucchini into about 1-inch pieces. Place on a towel to dry out a bit before you roast it. Halfway through the sweet potato roasting time, toss zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper and pop it into the oven. Roast the zucchini until golden brown and tender but not mushy (about 15 minutes).
- Meanwhile stir together the ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Set aside.
- Remove sweet potatoes & zucchini from the oven, and toss them together with some of the dried harissa spice.
- Warm pitas (in the oven, toaster, or microwave), then fill with the veggies, avocado, pickled onion, hemp seeds, and serve the yogurt sauce on the side.
