Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Raw
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup hummus for spreading
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 large carrots, ground cumin, olive oil, salt, and hummus.
- Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Once peeled, cut the carrots into thin strips, approximately 1/8 inch thick. This will make them easier to wrap and eat.
- In a small bowl, combine the ground cumin, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Take the carrot strips and place them in a larger bowl. Drizzle the cumin and olive oil mixture over the carrot strips.
- Using your hands, gently toss the carrot strips in the cumin mixture until they are evenly coated. This will enhance the flavor of the carrots.
- Prepare your serving area by laying out a clean surface or plate. Take a large piece of parchment paper or a clean cutting board.
- Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly on the parchment paper or cutting board, creating a thin layer. This will act as the base for your wraps.
- Take a handful of the seasoned carrot strips and place them on top of the hummus spread, ensuring they are arranged in a line.
- Carefully fold the parchment paper or cutting board over the carrot strips to create a wrap. Press gently to secure the wrap.
- Repeat the process with the remaining carrot strips and hummus until all ingredients are used up.
- Once all wraps are made, slice them in half for easier handling and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Raw Carrot Cumin Wraps!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Carrots: For the best flavor and crunch, opt for fresh, organic carrots. Look for ones that are firm and vibrant in color.
- Experiment with Spices: While cumin adds a lovely depth of flavor, feel free to get creative! Try adding a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Customize Your Hummus: Different hummus flavors can elevate your wraps. Consider using roasted red pepper, garlic, or even a spicy harissa hummus for a unique twist.
- Make Ahead: If you're prepping for a gathering, you can prepare the carrot strips and the cumin mixture in advance. Just assemble the wraps right before serving to keep everything fresh.
- Add Extra Veggies: Feel free to throw in other veggies like cucumber or bell pepper strips for added crunch and color.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: These wraps are a fantastic option for meal prepping. Just store the components separately and assemble when you're ready to eat!
