Vegan Hummus Veggie Pinwheels (Printable)

Creamy hummus and colorful veggies rolled in tortillas and sliced into bite-sized pinwheels.

# What You’ll Need:

→ 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

# Directions:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.
02 - Evenly spread 1/4 cup hummus over the entire surface, reaching all the way to the edges.
03 - Arrange a single layer of carrot, bell pepper, cucumber, spinach leaves, cabbage, and parsley horizontally across the lower third of the tortilla.
04 - Starting from the edge with the vegetables, tightly roll the tortilla up into a log, securing the vegetables inside.
05 - Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
06 - Using a sharp knife, trim the ends, then slice each roll into 6 even pinwheels.
07 - Arrange pinwheels cut-side up on a serving platter. Garnish with black sesame seeds and parsley if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered until ready to transport.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay happy.
  • The colors together are almost too pretty to eat, but you will anyway.
  • They travel beautifully, making them the easiest picnic contribution you will ever bring.
02 -
  • Overstuffing the tortillas will cause them to tear when rolling, so less is genuinely more here.
  • Deseeding the cucumber is the step most people skip, and it is the reason their pinwheels get soggy within an hour.
03 -
  • Warm each tortilla for about fifteen seconds before spreading so it becomes flexible and forgives tight rolling.
  • The tighter you roll, the more visually perfect the spiral, so do not be gentle about it.
