Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Sweet Potato: Sweet potatoes are the star here, giving a natural sweetness and creamy texture. For a change, you can swap with cooked butternut squash or even roasted carrots for a different flavor profile.
Hummus: I love using homemade hummus because it’s fresh and you can customize the flavors. If you need a quick option, store-bought hummus works great. You can also try varieties like roasted red pepper or garlic for added taste!
Tortillas: I use large flour tortillas, but whole grain or spinach wraps are excellent alternatives. Gluten-free wraps are also available for those with dietary preferences.
Fresh Greens: Mixed greens like arugula or spinach add crunch and nutrition. You can replace these with kale or even shredded cabbage if you like something heartier.
How Do I Roast Sweet Potatoes Perfectly?
Roasting sweet potatoes brings out their sweetness and makes them buttery soft. Here’s how to do it right:
- Preheat your oven well before adding the sweet potatoes for even cooking.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
- Toss them with oil and seasonings in a bowl, making sure each piece is coated well.
- Spread the cubes out on a baking sheet without overcrowding, which allows for better caramelization.
- Check for doneness; they should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges after 20-25 minutes.
Following these tips will help you achieve perfectly roasted sweet potatoes that make your wraps delicious!
Sweet Potato Hummus Wrap
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 1 cup diced)
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup fresh mixed greens or spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes for preparation and another 20-25 minutes for roasting the sweet potato. In total, you’ll need around 35-40 minutes to make these delicious wraps. It’s a quick and satisfying option for lunch or a snack!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the sweet potato and dice it into small, even cubes to ensure they roast evenly. This will help them become nice and tender.
2. Season and Roast the Sweet Potato:
In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet to roast. You want them to have space, so they get nice and caramelized!
3. Assemble Your Wraps:
While the sweet potatoes are roasting (for about 20-25 minutes), take out your tortillas and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/2 cup of hummus on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges for easy wrapping.
4. Add the Filling:
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted to tender perfection, let them cool for a minute. Then, evenly distribute the roasted sweet potato cubes over the hummus on each tortilla. Top it off with the fresh mixed greens or spinach.
5. Roll and Serve:
For an extra burst of flavor, you can drizzle a little lemon juice over the greens. Carefully roll the tortillas tightly into wraps. Slice them in half diagonally for easy serving. You can eat them right away or wrap them up tightly in foil or plastic wrap to enjoy later.
These Sweet Potato Hummus Wraps are a perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and healthy! Enjoy as a wholesome lunch or a delightful snack any time of the day!
Can I Use Other Vegetables in This Wrap?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix it up with roasted bell peppers, zucchini, or even grilled eggplant. These veggies will add different flavors and textures to your wrap.
How Do I Store Leftover Wraps?
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply unwrap and eat cold, or warm them in a skillet for a few minutes.
Can I Make This Wrap Vegan?
This recipe is naturally vegan as long as you use a plant-based hummus. Just make sure to check the ingredients if you are using store-bought hummus!
What If I Don’t Have Cumin or Smoked Paprika?
No worries! If you don’t have these spices, you can substitute with other spices like chili powder or Italian seasoning for a different flavor twist. Just season to your taste!
