Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Sweet Potato: The star of this wrap! Sweet potatoes are naturally sweet and creamy. If you’re looking for a quicker option, you could substitute with canned pumpkin or butternut squash puree.
Hummus: You can use store-bought hummus to save time, but making your own can be fun! Try different flavors like roasted red pepper or garlic for a twist.
Tortillas: Flour tortillas are great, but you can swap them for whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
Spinach: Fresh spinach adds crunch and color. Feel free to replace it with arugula or mixed greens for a different flavor profile.
Greek Yogurt: This is optional, but I love the creaminess it adds. You can swap it with any plant-based yogurt if you want to keep it vegan.
How Do I Roast Sweet Potatoes Perfectly?
Roasting sweet potatoes is simple, but a few tips ensure they turn out perfectly caramelized and flavorful.
- Preheat your oven well; a hot oven caramelizes the sugars better.
- Cut your sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet without overcrowding, allowing hot air to circulate.
- Roasting time varies; check for tenderness by piercing with a fork. They should be soft and slightly golden.
Taking these steps will give you that perfect balance of sweet and savory in your wraps!
Sweet Potato Hummus Wrap
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Optional Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or a creamy dressing
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for the dressing)
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional, for the dressing)
- Optional add-ins: chopped red onion, crispy bacon bits, or toasted nuts for crunch
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 35-40 minutes total. You’ll need about 10 minutes for prep, 20-25 minutes for roasting the sweet potatoes, and a few minutes to assemble the wraps. It’s an easy and quick meal option to prepare!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Roast the Sweet Potatoes:
First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pop the baking sheet in the oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. Once done, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes.
2. Make the Creamy Dressing (if using):
If you’d like to add a creamy dressing, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
3. Assemble The Wrap:
Lay your tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. Layer on the roasted sweet potato cubes over the hummus, then add fresh spinach leaves and any optional ingredients like red onion or bacon bits for extra flavor and crunch.
4. Roll and Serve:
Drizzle some of the creamy dressing over the spinach, if desired. Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling inside. Once rolled, cut each wrap in half diagonally. You can serve them right away, or wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper for a tasty meal on the go!
Enjoy your delicious and healthy Sweet Potato Hummus Wrap!
Can I Use Other Vegetables in This Wrap?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute or add vegetables such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or shredded carrots for extra crunch and color. Just make sure to chop them into small pieces for easy wrapping!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If possible, wrap them separately to maintain freshness. Just make sure to consume them within that timeframe for the best taste and texture!
Can I Make This Wrap Vegan?
Yes, this wrap can easily be made vegan! Simply skip the Greek yogurt, or substitute it with a plant-based yogurt or dressing. All the other ingredients are naturally vegan-friendly!
What’s the Best Way to Reheat the Wrap?
If you’re reheating the wrap, a quick method is to place it in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through. This helps keep it from getting soggy compared to microwaving!
