Vegan Thanksgiving Wraps
Description
Vegan Thanksgiving Wraps start with well-seasoned sweet potatoes and chickpeas roasted at 400°F until the potatoes are tender and the chickpeas develop a golden, slightly crispy texture. The sweet potatoes are flavored with fresh thyme, cinnamon, and salt, with an optional hint of cayenne for mild heat. Chickpeas are seasoned with a blend including cumin, smoked paprika, and coriander, contributing warm and aromatic notes. Baking both together ensures complementary flavors and textures.
Once cooked, these roasted components are wrapped in garlic herb flatbreads or your choice of bread, optionally spread with hummus for creaminess, and topped with crunchy toasted seeds, dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness, and fresh arugula or parsley for brightness. This combination creates a balanced wrap suitable for a filling lunch or light dinner, especially during autumn months.
To accommodate dietary preferences, gluten-free options for the flatbreads are suggested. The recipe notes that nutrition estimates include the flatbreads but exclude toppings. Preparing toppings while vegetables roast streamlines the assembly process. This wrap offers a flavorful way to enjoy seasonal vegetables with bold seasoning and diverse textures.
Ingredients
SWEET POTATOES
- 2 large (~150 g each) sweet potato organic when possible
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp thyme fresh
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
CHICKPEAS
- 1 (15-ounce) chickpeas rinsed, drained and thoroughly dried in a towel, canned
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or dried thyme
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 cant tsp salt sea salt
- 1 healthy pinch ground coriander optional
- 1 healthy pinch ground cardamom optional
FOR SERVING optional
- 4 whole garlic herb flatbread (or store-bought flatbreads or pita)
- hummus optional, Garlic dill flavor, sauce form
- sunflower seeds optional, toasted, or pumpkin seeds
- dried cranberries (optional // chopped)
- arugula optional, fresh, or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C).
- Thoroughly wash and dry sweet potatoes, then slice (skin on) into bite-sized rounds/pieces.
- Add to a mixing bowl with avocado oil, thyme, cinnamon, sea salt and cayenne (optional). Toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- To the same mixing bowl, add rinsed, dried chickpeas, and avocado oil, thyme, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, sea salt, and coriander + cardamom (optional).
- Toss to coat, then arrange on baking sheet with sweet potatoes where space permits. (Depending on size of baking sheet, you may need to use a second to accommodate all potatoes and chickpeas).
- Bake for a total of 25 minutes, flipping/stirring once at the 15-minute mark to ensure even cooking. You'll know they're done when the potatoes are fork tender, and the chickpeas are golden brown, dehydrated, and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In the meantime, prepare toppings and dressing (if using).
- Once potatoes and chickpeas are finished baking, wrap flatbreads in a damp towel and warm in the still warm oven for 1-2 minutes (or in the microwave for 30 seconds) to soften and make more pliable.
- To assemble, top each wrap with a portion of sweet potatoes and chickpeas. Add desired toppings, such as dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, arugula, and Garlic-Dill Hummus Sauce (recipe link above).
- Best when fresh, though leftovers keep separately in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use gluten-free wraps or serve on salad greens to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- Roast sweet potatoes and chickpeas until tender and crispy by flipping halfway through cooking.
- Prepare toppings like hummus, seeds, and dried fruit ahead to assemble wraps easily.
- Nutrition information includes flatbreads but excludes optional toppings.
