Ingredients
- 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
- 3 large spinach or plain flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup plain hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 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
Roasting the vegetables until tender and slightly caramelized enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor to the wraps. Be sure to let the roasted veggies cool before assembling, so the hummus stays creamy and the tortillas remain pliable. Using a sharp knife to slice the roll-ups into neat pinwheels helps maintain their candy cane shape for a striking presentation.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For extra flavor, try swapping plain hummus for roasted garlic or red pepper hummus. Add roasted beet or carrot strips alongside the peppers and zucchini to introduce even more vibrant colors and sweetness. You can also use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
