Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
For the roasted vegetables:
-
asparagus (about 5 oz, woody ends removed)
-
mushrooms (about 5 oz, cremini preferred)
-
red bell pepper (or yellow/orange)
-
zucchini (one small to medium, ~6–8 oz)
-
balsamic vinegar (1½ Tbsp)
-
garlic powder (½ tsp)
-
salt & black pepper to taste
For the rest:
-
hummus (½ cup)
-
fresh baby spinach (1 cup)
-
tortilla wraps (4 medium, choose gluten‑free if needed)
Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Prepare the veggies: cut the asparagus into ~1.5‑inch pieces; slice mushrooms; cut bell pepper and zucchini into bite‑sized pieces. Place all in a large bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt and pepper; toss well to coat.
-
Spread the veggies evenly on the lined baking pan. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes (or until your desired tenderness is reached).
-
To assemble the wraps: Lay out each tortilla. Spread about 2 Tbsp (or more) of hummus down the center of each. Top with a layer of spinach, then the roasted veggies. Add any optional toppings if desired. Tuck in both ends of the tortilla and roll tightly.
-
If desired, you can crisp the wrap by placing it on a grill pan over medium to medium‑high heat for about 3–4 minutes on each side until lightly toasted.
Servings and timing
Makes about 4 medium wraps (using ~8‑inch tortillas). Total time: approximately 30 minutes (Prep ~10 minutes, Cook ~20 minutes).
Variations
-
Swap in different veggies: eggplant, yellow summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, grape/cherry tomatoes, onion.
-
Use flavored hummus instead of plain: lemon‑dill, cilantro‑jalapeño, chipotle, etc.
-
Add more protein: baked tofu, tempeh bacon, chickpeas or beans.
-
Add fresh toppings: tomato slices, shredded carrot, olives, avocado, green onion, chives.
-
Drizzle with sauce: vegan ranch, creamy Italian, chipotle crema, mustard, or herby pesto.
-
Use different greens: baby kale, arugula, or mixed salad greens instead of spinach.
-
Make it oil‑free: the roasted veggies and hummus can be oil‑free; check tortillas if you want a fully oil‑free wrap.
-
Serve it grilled: instead of roasting veggies, grill them and assemble for a summer version.
Storage/Reheating
-
To store assembled wraps: After wrapping, place in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Best enjoyed within a day to prevent sogginess (especially from hummus and roasted veggies).
-
To store components separately: You can roast the veggies, portion hummus, and keep tortillas separately in airtight containers—then assemble the wrap when you’re ready. This keeps everything fresher.
-
Reheating: You can eat the wrap cold or warm it in a microwave for about 30–60 seconds (depending on your appliance). If you’d like a crisp exterior, place the wrap on a grill pan over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed and lightly toasted.
FAQs
What kind of tortilla should I use?
You can use any medium tortilla (around 8‑inch) that you prefer—whole grain, gluten‑free, or plain flour. Choose gluten‑free if you need to avoid gluten.
Can I use different vegetables than those listed?
Yes—feel free to swap in whatever vegetables you have or prefer. The listed veggies have similar roasting times, which makes them convenient.
Is this recipe vegan and/or gluten‑free?
Yes, the core recipe is vegan and can be made gluten‑free by selecting gluten‑free tortillas. For oil‑free, you also ensure the hummus and tortillas are made without oil.
Can I prep the veggies ahead of time?
Yes, you can roast the veggies ahead and store them in the refrigerator. Then when ready, just spread the hummus and assemble the wrap.
How do I prevent the wrap from becoming soggy?
To prevent sogginess, you can store components separately (roasted veggies, hummus, wraps) and assemble just before eating. Also avoid adding very juicy toppings until just before serving.
Can I make this wrap for take‑along lunch?
Absolutely—it’s ideal for a take‑along meal. Just wrap it well, perhaps wrap in foil or parchment, and keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to eat.
How do I make the wrap extra crunchy or crispy?
After assembling, place it on a preheated grill pan over medium‑high heat. Cook about 3–4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is lightly toasted and crisp.
What sauces or spreads can I add?
You can add vegan ranch, creamy Italian dressing, chipotle crema, mustard, or a drizzle of pesto. These add extra flavor and can complement the roasted veggies well.
Can I add cheese or a cheese substitute?
Yes—if you consume dairy, you can add regular cheese. For a vegan version, add dairy‑free cheese such as vegan mozzarella, vegan parmesan, or vegan feta crumbles.
How long will leftovers keep?
If assembled and stored in the fridge, aim to eat within one day for best texture. If stored as components separately, the roasted veggies and hummus will last 2–3 days if kept properly sealed.
