Traditionally, you’d serve the grilled pepper dip with wedges of fresh pita for dipping, but grilling gives the pita more flavor and a chiplike crispness.

Ingredients

  • 4 pita breads
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon

Method

  1. Brush the pitas on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with sesame seeds.
  2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat it to high.
  3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the pitas on the hot grate and grill them until they are toasted and browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Watch the bread; it can burn
