Vegan Hummus Veggie Pinwheels (Printable)
Creamy hummus and fresh veggies rolled into colorful tortilla pinwheels—ready in 20 minutes.
# 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
# How To Make It:
01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
02 - Evenly spread 1/4 cup hummus over the entire surface of the tortilla, reaching all the way to the edges.
03 - Arrange a single layer of julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber strips, baby spinach, shredded cabbage, and chopped parsley horizontally across the lower third of the tortilla.
04 - Starting from the edge closest to the vegetables, tightly roll the tortilla into a firm log, securing the filling inside.
05 - Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
06 - Using a sharp knife, trim the uneven ends of each roll, then slice each log into 6 even pinwheels.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels cut-side up on a serving platter. Garnish with black sesame seeds and extra parsley leaves if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay happy on warm days.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that keeps people reaching for more.
- They travel beautifully and look impressive without any real effort, which is basically the dream.
02 -
- Overstuffing the tortilla will cause it to tear when rolling, so restraint is your best friend here.
- If you refrigerate them before slicing, the rolls firm up and cut more cleanly, which I discovered after a rushed morning of ragged edges.
03 -
- A thin layer of hummus acts like edible glue that holds everything together, so do not skip spreading it edge to edge.
- A light sprinkle of lemon zest or smoked paprika inside each roll before rolling transforms the flavor from good to unforgettable.
