Ingredients
- Beets, peeled and cubed: 3 medium
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Kosher salt: 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper, freshly ground: 1/2 teaspoon
- Cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed: 1 can (15 ounces)
- Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cumin: 1 teaspoon
- Tahini: 1/4 cup
- Fresh lemon juice: 3 tablespoons
- Maple syrup: 1 teaspoon
- Water, to thin: 2 to 3 tablespoons
- Whole-wheat wraps or tortillas: 4 large (8 to 10 inches)
- Fresh spinach or mixed greens: 2 cups, lightly packed
- Red onion, thinly sliced: 1/4 cup
- Fresh parsley, chopped: 2 tablespoons
- Optional garnish, toasted sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the cubed beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper, then spread on half of the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, combine chickpeas with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining black pepper. Spread on the other half of the sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once halfway, until beets are fork-tender and chickpeas are lightly crisp.
- Meanwhile, whisk tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth and pourable, adding the remaining water as needed.
- Warm the wraps in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble each wrap with greens, roasted beets, chickpeas, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle generously with tahini-lemon sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.
- Roll tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make it spicier: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a spoon of harissa to the chickpeas.
- Sauce consistency: If tahini seizes, whisk in cold water a teaspoon at a time until creamy.
- Meal prep: Roast beets and chickpeas up to 2 days ahead and store separately in the fridge.
- Gluten-free option: Use certified gluten-free tortillas.
