Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

Roast the vegetables ahead of time by cutting them into bite-sized pieces, tossing with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and baking at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool before using.

Spread the Hummus:

1. Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate.

2. Spread the hummus evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.

Add the Roasted Vegetables:

Place the roasted vegetables evenly over the hummus. Ensure a good mix of vegetables to distribute flavors and textures evenly.

Add the Arugula:

1. Add a handful of fresh arugula over the roasted vegetables.

2. If using, add any optional ingredients like crumbled feta, sliced avocado, or fresh herbs at this stage.

Roll the Wrap:

Start from one side and tightly roll the tortilla into a wrap. Be careful not to overfill to avoid tearing. If desired, slice the wrap in half for easier handling and presentation.

Serve:

Serve immediately for a fresh and nutritious lunch. For a to-go option, wrap in parchment paper or foil. Garnish with a side of additional roasted vegetables or a small salad if desired.

Serving Suggestions

1. Pair with a side of fresh fruit or a small cup of soup: For added vitamins and a balanced meal.

   
   

2. Serve with a glass of iced tea or infused water: For a refreshing and light beverage.

   
   

3. Top with a handful of nuts or seeds: For extra protein and healthy fats.

Tips and Variations:

• For a gluten-free option: Use a gluten-free tortilla or wrap.

  
  

• To make it vegan: Ensure the hummus and any additional toppings like cheese are vegan.

  
  

• For added flavor: Marinate the roasted vegetables in a bit of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before roasting.
