Ingredients
  

1 medium eggplant, diced into cubes

1 cup diced cucumbers

1 cup cooked chickpeas (canned or boiled)

1/4 cup tahini

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 large whole grain or spinach wraps

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Feta cheese crumbles for topping

Instructions
 

Roast the Eggplant: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the diced eggplant with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the eggplant is golden and tender, flipping halfway through for even cooking. Allow to cool slightly.

    Prepare the Hummus: In a food processor, add the roasted eggplant, chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the mixture feels too thick, you can add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the whole grain or spinach wraps on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the eggplant hummus in the center of each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with diced cucumbers and sprinkle with fresh parsley. If desired, add some crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

        Roll the Wrap: Start rolling the wrap from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Once rolled tightly, slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. You can also wrap them in parchment paper if you plan to pack them for lunch.

          Serve and Enjoy: These wraps are great fresh, but you can also refrigerate the hummus for later use. Enjoy them as a quick lunch, light dinner, or snack!
