Recipe courtesy of ScratchMommy.com

Serves: 4 wraps

 

Ingredients

4 naans or other thick flatbread

1 med-large Italian eggplant, cut into ½ inch wide strips lengthwise (optional: peel your eggplant before cutting)

1 zucchini, cut into ¼ inch wide strips lengthwise

8-10 white mushrooms, whole

2 red peppers, whole

3-4 Tbsp. oil (coconut oil and avocado oil are great for high-heat grilling!)

1.5 tsp. oregano

1.5 tsp. black pepper

½ cup hummus

 

Instructions

Salt the eggplant and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. 

After 30 minutes, wipe the water and salt from the top of the eggplant with a napkin.

Toss all vegetables in oil and then lay flat.

Sprinkle with oregano and black pepper.

Grill or barbecue all vegetables until they are cooked through and have a bit of char to them.

Slice mushrooms and peel and slice red peppers.

Warm naan up slightly on a skillet and then spread 1-2 T of hummus down the middle. On top of this, layer one piece of eggplant, 1 piece of zucchini, mushrooms, and red peppers.

Wrap the naan, using a toothpick to secure if necessary.
