For 4 servings
Preheat oven and prepare vegetables.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, bell pepper strips, and eggplant cubes.
Roast the vegetables.
- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Toss well to coat everything evenly.
- Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned at the edges.
TIPDon't overcrowd the pan. Use two sheets if necessary to ensure the vegetables roast rather than steam.Warm the lavash bread.
While the vegetables are roasting, you can warm the lavash wraps. Heat them one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds. This makes them soft and pliable.
TIPWarming the lavash prevents it from cracking when you roll it.Assemble the wraps.
- Lay a warm lavash flat on a clean surface.
- Spread about 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place a handful of fresh arugula on top of the hummus.
- Arrange a quarter of the roasted vegetables over the arugula.
- Crumble a quarter of the goat cheese over the vegetables.
- Drizzle with a little fresh lemon juice.
Fold and serve the wrap.
Fold in the sides of the lavash, then tightly roll it up from the bottom. You can slice it in half on a diagonal for easier eating. Serve immediately while the vegetables are still warm.
TIPIf packing for lunch, wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap to hold its shape.
