    2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    one 15-ounce can kidney bean, rinsed and drained
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    2 whole wheat pita breads

    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    1 teaspoon light agave nectar
    1 small canned chipotle pepper, finely diced
Preparation
    For the roasted vegetables: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
    In a medium bowl, toss together the butternut squash, zucchini, bell peppers, kidney beans, oil, cumin, oregano and salt. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are golden and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
    Split the pita breads in half horizontally to make 4 rounds. Arrange in a single layer on a heavy baking sheet. Bake until crisp, 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
    For the chipotle cream: In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, lime juice, agave and chipotle pepper until smooth.
    Spoon the vegetable mixture on top of the crispy pitas and serve with a dollop of the chipotle cream.
