Root Vegetable Wrap with Spicy Aioli

This is my new favorite summer, luteal phase recipe- no exaggeration! It strikes a perfect balance between roasted, warming properties your body needs in the luteal phase and light, refreshing elements. And the simple, homemade aioli really pulls it all together.

In my recipes, you will notice that I don’t provide super explicit measurement guidance. I am a big believer in portioning based on what feels right for you, and learning to experiment with your cooking. I don’t measure out spices for example - I season and taste as I go. It has helped me build my cooking confidence, and it will for you too!

Serving Size: 2+

Total Cook Time: 45 min

• Prep Time: 5 min

• Cook Time: ~40 min

Ingredients

• 1 butternut squash, cut into thin, long slices

• 1 cauliflower, cut into florets

• 1 zucchini, thinly sliced and cut into halves

• Mixed greens

• Hummus, your choice

• Tortilla wraps, highly recommend Siete’s Grain-Free Burrito Wraps

• 1 lemon

• Vegan mayo, I love Primal Kitchen’s

• Garlic

• Hot sauce, your choosing

• Pinch of salt & pepper

• Olive oil

• Trader Joe’s everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

2. Your biggest effort will be preparing and cooking the vegetables. Prepare the butternut squash- peel, slice into thin pieces, and cut into long strips. Toss in olive oil and Trader Joe’s everything bagel seasoning. Put in the oven immediately as it takes the longest to cook, about 40 minutes.

3. Then prepare the cauliflower. Cut into florets, then toss in olive oil and Trader Joe’s everything bagel seasoning. Add the cauliflower to the pan with the butternut squash when they are about halfway done cooking (~20 minutes in).

4. Thinly slice the zucchini and then cut into large halves. While the other vegetables are roasting in the oven, cook the zucchini stovetop, sautéing in a pan. Toss in olive oil and garlic. Stir every so often, allowing the zucchini to brown on each side. Cook for ~8 minutes, or until the zucchini are browned.

5. While all the vegetables are cooking, make your aioli. Mix two spoonfuls of vegan mayo, juice of half a lemon, dash of garlic powder/salt/pepper, and a couple dashes of hot sauce. Mix thoroughly. Taste, and then continue to season accordingly. I like to go heavy on the garlic and medium on the hot sauce.

6. Once all the vegetables are cooked, it is time to assemble! Heat up the Siete tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds. On top of the warmed tortilla, add hummus, a handful of mixed greens, zucchini, cauliflower, butternut squash, and aioli. Fold up the bottom of the tortilla, carefully roll to wrap closed, and then enjoy! Note: This is the assembling order I think is easiest, but you can do it any way you like! I do equal parts for each vegetable, but this is also up to personal preference. Lastly, portioning is up to you - listen to your body!

Eating with your cycle is an empowering way to reclaim your health and food freedom, and I hope this recipe takes you one step farther on that journey.
