- In a mixing bowl, combine the black beans, diced eggplant, peas, olive oil, ground cumin, lime juice, and lime zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the eggplant is tender and the edges of the pita are slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving. If desired, add a dollop of yogurt or crumbled feta cheese on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
