Directions

Sriracha Mayo: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sriracha. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

On a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet, toss onion, pepper, zucchini, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of the salt and pepper with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil.

In a large bowl, using your hands mix together beef, onion, garlic, parsley, basil, chili powder, lime zest and remaining salt until well combined. Divide and shape into 8 patties about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. Use your thumb press centres slightly. Place patties on top of the vegetables and brush with remaining oil.

Roast in preheated 425˚F (220˚C) oven for about 18 minutes or until vegetables are tender crisp. To finish, place under a pre-heated broiler for 3 to 5 minutes just until beef and vegetables are sizzling and crisped up, and each pattie is cooked to 160˚F (71˚C), when tested with a digital instant read thermometer inserted sideways.

Open pita breads and spread with hummus. Tuck 2 patties and vegetables into each pita and drizzle with Sriracha Mayo to serve.
