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
Ensure vegetables are sliced uniformly for even roasting and a neat candy cane pattern. Allowing the roasted veggies to cool slightly before assembling prevents the hummus from melting and keeps the wraps intact. Roll tortillas tightly to avoid unraveling when slicing into pinwheels.
Varianten und Anpassungen
Experiment with roasted garlic or red pepper hummus for added flavor depth. Add vibrant veggie stripes like roasted beet or carrot strips to increase color variety and nutritional value. Use spinach tortillas for a green hue or plain flour tortillas for a neutral base.
