Ingredients
  

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

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

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4 large whole wheat or spinach wraps

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

½ cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

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

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Cauliflower and Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and rinsed chickpeas. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil, and then sprinkle smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the top. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until all pieces are well-coated with the oil and spices.

      Roast the Mixture: Spread the seasoned cauliflower and chickpea mixture in a single even layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is fork-tender and lightly caramelized. Stir the mixture halfway through for even roasting.

        Add Lemon Juice: After roasting, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately drizzle fresh lemon juice over the warm cauliflower and chickpea mixture, and gently toss to ensure the flavors meld together.

          Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface or cutting board, lay out the whole wheat or spinach wraps. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of hummus across each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.

            Add the Filling: Evenly distribute the warm roasted cauliflower and chickpea mixture over the hummus on each wrap. Top with a handful of mixed greens and sprinkle any desired optional toppings like sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or red onion.

              Wrap It Up: To close the wraps, fold in the sides first, then roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling snugly. If needed, secure the wraps with a toothpick or wrap them in parchment paper for easy handling.

                Serve: For the best experience, slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve them immediately. Alternatively, you can wrap each one in foil for a delicious, portable meal option!
