A healthy vegetarian option for lunch

Grilled vegetable hummus wraps are a great, healthy vegetarian option for lunch. I am guilty of having meat in basically every meal of the day on most days; I often get asked to show my vegetarian or vegan options.

While this recipe is not vegan, it is vegetarian. When I was creating this recipe, my goal was to create a flavorful wrap that wouldn’t make me miss the meat. To do that, I made sure to really stuff the wrap full of flavor, everything form the marinated grilled vegetables (flavored with balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, and Italian seasoning), to nutritious hummus, to melty mozzarella. All of the components together create a really flavorful lunch that I will actually look forward to enjoying.

The other goal I had was to make sure this wrap was filling, without the extra protein that meat provides. To do that, I incorporated hummus, which is a flavorful spread made with chickpeas. Chickpeas have lots of health benefits and are packed with protein and fiber.

How to make grilled vegetable hummus wraps

To make these wraps, start off by marinating the vegetables. To make the marinade, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Italian seasoning and kosher salt. Whisk the ingredients together.

Trim the ends off the zucchini and then slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4″ slices. Peel the onion and slice it into four slices. Pour the marinade into a shallow bowl and toss the zucchini slices in the marinade; gently toss the onion in the marinade also, careful not to break the onion apart.

Once you remove the vegetables from the marinade, reserve the marinade for later.

Grill the vegetables (I used an outdoor grill, but you can use a grill pan to do this as well). Cook the vegetables for about five minutes per side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Then, remove the vegetables from the grill and toss them in the reserved marinade.

To assemble the wraps, add 2 tablespoons of hummus to eat wrap, and spread the hummus to cover the wrap. Next, sprinkle 1/2 ounce of the mozzarella on each wrap. Then, add the vegetables and roll it up.

I also toasted the wraps in a frying pan with cooking spray, seam side down. This allows the wrap to crisp up and get a crunchy exterior.

How to meal prep these grilled vegetable hummus wraps

I do not suggest making all of the wraps in advance; instead, simply marinate and grill the vegetables, and keep them in an air tight container in the fridge. You can also portion out the other ingredients to make your assembly during the week that much easier. If you are heading to the office, you can pack the individual ingredients separately and assemble quickly at work. You can heat everything in a toaster oven or microwave in a pinch, also.

You can also prep the wraps, wrap them in foil and freeze them for the week. To defrost, quickly microwave an individual wrap to take the chill off, and then pop the wrap in the air fryer or toaster oven to crisp up.
