This Crispy Eggplant and Roasted Pepper Wrap is a fantastic combination of flavors. A light coating of corn starch gets the eggplant fried up nice and crispy without using traditional breading. Thin, crispy slices of eggplant, sweet roasted red peppers and hummus give this meal massive taste, while baby spinach leaves add a touch of freshness.
Crispy Eggplant and Roasted Pepper Wrap Recipe
The Gluten Free Wraps used here will cooperate with rolling much better if they are heated for 10 seconds in the microwave before assembling your sandwich. Store bought hummus makes a perfect spread for the wrap and can even be used to glue down cracks in your wrap after rolling.This wrap is like a party in your mouth. You could add anything you like to this recipe – black onions or vidalia onion slices would be great here, but it’s delicious as is too. Use the hummus flavor of your choice to change up the flavor too.
