Vegan Hummus Veggie Pinwheels (Printable)
Creamy hummus and crisp veggies rolled in tortillas — a fresh no-cook appetizer for any occasion.
# What You'll Need:
→ For the Pinwheels
01 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch; use whole wheat or gluten-free if desired)
02 - 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
03 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves, washed and dried
04 - 1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
05 - 1/2 cup shredded carrot
06 - 1/2 cup cucumber, cut into thin strips
07 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
08 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or dill)
# How to Make It:
01 - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread a generous, even layer of hummus over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange baby spinach leaves evenly across the hummus-covered surface of each tortilla.
04 - Distribute the julienned red bell pepper, shredded carrot, cucumber strips, sliced black olives (if using), and chopped fresh herbs evenly over the spinach layer.
05 - Starting from one edge, tightly roll up each tortilla into a firm log shape, keeping the fillings snug and evenly distributed.
06 - Using a sharp knife, trim the uneven ends, then slice each roll into 6 even pinwheels.
07 - Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay relaxed even on the hottest days.
- The rainbow of vegetables tucked into creamy hummus makes these visually stunning with almost zero effort.
- They travel beautifully, making them the ultimate grab and go appetizer for any outdoor adventure.
02 -
- Overfilling the tortillas is the most common mistake because the filling pushes out the sides and the roll will not hold its shape.
- Drying the spinach and cucumber thoroughly after washing prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy and tearing during slicing.
03 -
- Warm each tortilla for about eight seconds in the microwave to make it pliable enough to roll tightly without cracking.
- Chill the rolled logs for fifteen minutes before slicing because cold tortillas hold their spiral shape much better.
