It’s officially fall. Finally!!!!
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to eat all my favorite fall foods. ALL OF THEM. But not at once of course. 😜
However, this seasonal inspired wrap covers quite a few of my best-loved fall veggies: beets, carrots, kale, red onions, and sweet potatoes. Hint the name autumn harvest veggie wrap.
The root vegetables as well as the onions are lightly seasoned to preserve their natural flavor, roasted until soft and slightly caramelized, then sprinkled with a little bit of lemon juice to bring out their flavor.
These delightful veggies are then tossed in a whole wheat wrap that is slathered with the most amazing chimichurri hummus. I hope you didn’t miss the recipe earlier this week, because it is to die for.
It’s ultra-light, creamy, and herbaceous with notes of garlic, bitter freshness, and citrus. And it’s such an easy way to amp up this wrap. It truly pairs phenomenally with the roasted veggies, kale, and goat cheese.
This healthy wrap is ideal for a meat-free lunch or dinner. They also work great for making ahead as they are just as good cold. Simply wrap them up and refrigerate them. Then you’ll have lunch ready to go for the next three days. That’s what I do!
And hey, if you’re a vegan, no problem; the goat cheese is totally optional. BUT I’m a meat-lover you say…. To that, I say DON’T WORRY!!! This veggie wrap is so rich and filling you’ll completely forget that it’s vegetarian. And if you just can’t get over the fact there’s no meat, throw in some grilled chicken.
Ingredients (+ notes & substitutions)
- Beet: One medium beet should do the trick. Cut off the ends and cube. You may leave the skin on.
- Carrots: Peeled of course!
- Red onion: You could certainly sub for a white or even a yellow onion.
- Sweet Potato: One small sweet potato is sufficient. No need to peel it.
- Olive oil: For roasting the veggies.
- Salt & black pepper
- Lemon juice: I like to squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the veggies once they are done roasting. It enhances the flavors and also adds some freshness. Bottled lemon juice is an acceptable alternative.
- Large whole wheat wraps: Or any other wrap you prefer. For gluten-free, make sure you choose a gluten-free variety. You could even use a tortilla.
- Chimichurri hummus: For the hummus, you will need: chickpeas, baking soda, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, salt, ice-cold water, fresh parsley and cilantro, oregano, a shallot, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes (optional).
- Goat cheese: For a vegan wrap, skip the cheese. If you don’t like goat cheese, swap it for feta.
- Kale: Spinach would be just as good!
How to make autumn harvest vegetable wraps with chimichurri hummus ( + tips)
Begin by adding the chickpeas and baking soda to a small saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Put the cubed beets, carrots, red onions, and sweet potatoes on the baking sheet pour on the olive oil and salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange the veggies in a single layer. When the chickpeas have ten minutes boiling time remaining place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20-minutes, flipping after ten.
Meanwhile, add the ingredients for the chimichurri to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, and pulse until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and rinse the food processor bowl/attachment.
Once the chickpeas are done, transfer them to a strainer, run under cold water until cool, and drain excess liquid. Then add the chickpeas to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment along with the garlic. Process until somewhat smooth but still chunky.
Add the tahini, lemon juice, and salt, and pulse until smooth. Continue processing while adding ice water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
In a bowl, combine the hummus and chimichurri. Set aside.
Remove the veggies from the oven, splash with lemon juice, and rest for five minutes.
To assemble: Spread whole wheat wrap with 1/4 of the hummus, 1/4 of the veggies, one ounce of goat cheese, and kale, then fold. Serve warm or refrigerate for later.
Storage
Wrap tight in tinfoil, beeswax wrap, or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to three days.
