Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 can chickpeas (drained)
- Whole wheat or spinach wraps
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Lemon juice (to taste)
- Fresh spinach or arugula (optional)
- Chopped herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the zucchini into long strips, about ½ inch thick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the zucchini strips and toss to coat them well. Let them marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated zucchini strips on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they have nice grill marks and are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas with a tablespoon of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add chopped herbs for extra flavor.
- Lay your wrap flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a layer of grilled zucchini, followed by a generous scoop of chickpeas, and sprinkle crumbled feta on top. You can also add fresh spinach or arugula for added crunch.
- Fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards.
- Slice the wrap in half and enjoy!
