Vegan Hummus Veggie Pinwheels (Printable Version)
Creamy hummus and colorful veggies rolled in tortillas into bite-sized pinwheels for easy entertaining.
# Ingredient List:
→ For the Pinwheels
01 - 4 large spinach or whole wheat tortillas
02 - 1 cup hummus, store-bought or homemade
03 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
04 - 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 - 1/2 cucumber, deseeded and cut into thin strips
06 - 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
07 - 1/4 cup shredded purple cabbage
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
→ For Garnish (Optional)
09 - Pinch of black sesame seeds
10 - Few extra parsley leaves
# How to Make:
01 - Place each tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
02 - Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across the entire surface of each tortilla, reaching all the way to the edges.
03 - Arrange a single layer of julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber strips, baby spinach leaves, shredded purple cabbage, and chopped parsley horizontally across the lower third of each tortilla.
04 - Starting from the edge closest to the vegetables, roll each tortilla tightly into a firm log, keeping the vegetables securely tucked inside.
05 - Continue assembling the remaining tortillas using the same layering and rolling method.
06 - Using a sharp knife, trim the uneven ends of each roll, then slice into 6 even pinwheels per tortilla.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on a serving platter. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and garnish with fresh parsley leaves if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No cooking required so your kitchen stays cool and you stay relaxed.
- The rainbow of vegetables makes every platter look like a tiny edible garden.
- They travel beautifully which means no last minute stress before picnics or parties.
02 -
- Deseeding the cucumber is non negotiable because excess moisture will make your tortillas soggy within an hour.
- Letting the rolled logs rest seam side down for a few minutes before slicing helps them hold their shape dramatically better.
- Always double check store bought hummus labels if you are serving someone with a sesame allergy since tahini is a standard ingredient.
03 -
- Press down firmly but gently while rolling to eliminate air pockets which cause the pinwheels to unravel when sliced.
- Use the sharpest knife in your kitchen and wipe the blade clean between cuts for the most photogenic pinwheels.
