Place the vegetables on the hot grill or grill pan. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Carefully cut each warm pita bread in half to create pockets. Spread about 1/4 cup of hummus inside each pita pocket.

Fill each pita pocket with the grilled vegetables. If using, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley before serving.
