Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed thoroughly

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup mixed greens (options include spinach, arugula, or kale)

½ cup hummus (either store-bought or homemade)

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, or crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.

    Prepare the Cauliflower and Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and chickpeas. Drizzle the mixture with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Using your hands or a spatula, toss everything until the cauliflower and chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices and oil.

      Roast the Mixture: Spread the seasoned cauliflower and chickpea mixture out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting. The goal is to have the cauliflower tender and slightly caramelized.

        Add Lemon Juice: Once roasted, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the warm mixture and toss gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.

          Assemble the Wraps: Lay each whole wheat or spinach wrap flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of hummus over each wrap, reaching the edges to enhance flavor in every bite.

            Add the Filling: Evenly distribute the roasted cauliflower and chickpea mixture across the wraps. Top each wrap with a handful of mixed greens, and feel free to add any optional toppings you desire, such as sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or red onion.

              Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of each wrap first, then roll them up from the bottom to encase the filling tightly. If needed, secure the wraps with a toothpick or wrap them in parchment paper for easier handling.

                Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can wrap them in foil for a satisfying meal on-the-go!
