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
Take your time slicing the vegetables into uniform thin strips to ensure even roasting and a visually striking candy cane pattern. Allow the roasted veggies to cool fully before assembling the wraps to prevent the hummus from melting and the tortillas from becoming soggy. Rolling the tortillas tightly will keep the pinwheels neatly together when sliced.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a flavor boost, swap plain hummus for roasted garlic or red pepper varieties. Add roasted beet or carrot strips to enhance the colorful stripes and add new layers of sweetness. To make the dish gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas. These roll-ups are perfect vegan and vegetarian treats, but you can also add cheese if desired for a non-vegan option.
Serviervorschläge
