Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 medium beets, peeled and chopped
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup cooked chickpeas (or canned, drained and rinsed)
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small garlic clove
2–4 tablespoons water (as needed for blending)
4 large whole wheat wraps or tortillas
1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chopped beets and carrots on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika. Toss to coat evenly, then spread in a single layer.
Roast the vegetables for about 25–30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Let them cool slightly.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted vegetables, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. Blend until smooth, adding water gradually until you reach a creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Lay out the wraps and spread a generous layer of the beet and carrot hummus across each one.
Top with fresh greens, cucumber slices, and red onion.
Roll the wraps tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
You can add grilled chicken or falafel for extra protein if desired. Swap the whole wheat wraps for gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps for a lighter option. Add avocado slices for extra creaminess or sprinkle some seeds like sunflower or sesame for added texture. You can also spice it up with a drizzle of chili sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
Storage/Reheating
Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If the wraps are already assembled, store them tightly wrapped and consume within 1–2 days for best freshness.
The hummus does not require reheating and is best served chilled or at room temperature. If you prefer warm wraps, heat the tortilla separately before assembling.
