Ingredients
- Vegetables
- 1 small red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small zucchini, sliced into thin strips
- 1 small red onion, sliced into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wraps & Hummus
- 3 large spinach or plain flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup plain hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- 4. Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5. Arrange the roasted vegetables in alternating colored stripes (red, yellow, green, purple) diagonally across each tortilla to create a candy cane effect.
- 6. Tightly roll up each tortilla from one edge to the other. Trim the ends and slice each roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
- 7. Arrange pinwheels in a candy cane shape on a platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Roast the vegetables evenly and stir once halfway through to ensure all pieces caramelize nicely. Letting the veggies cool slightly before assembling prevents the hummus from melting and keeps the wrap texture intact.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For additional depth of flavor, swap plain hummus with roasted garlic or red pepper hummus. Introducing roasted beet or carrot strips can enhance the vibrant colors and add new taste dimensions.
Serviervorschläge
