Punch up your lunchtime wrap with a combo of sweet and savory Stephanie Barlow
ROASTED SWEET POTATO WRAPS WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND PESTO
MAKES: 10-12 wraps.
Heat a heavy bottom pan (I prefer stainless steel to nonstick) over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and, when it is hot, add the onions. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized. Turn down the heat if onions begin to brown too quickly. This process may take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Once the onions are browning and the pan begins to dry, add a few tablespoons of water and allow the moisture to cook off. Set aside. Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Heat each wrap for about 10 seconds on each side, or until wrap becomes pliable. Spread 2 teaspoons of pesto across middle of wrap. Add handful of sweet potato cubes, several mushroom slices, and a tablespoon each of caramelized onions, tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Close the wrap by first folding in the sides and then rolling from the bottom up, tucking the sides in as you go. Repeat for remaining wraps. Refrigerate for several days or freeze for up to 6 months. Heat wraps in the microwave in 30-second intervals, rotating and checking as you go. Alternatively, heat in a toaster oven or oven at 350 F, wrapped in foil for first 10 minutes and unwrapped for the final five. Wraps are ready to eat when the filling is heated through and cheese has melted. If frozen, allow wraps to thaw in the refrigerator to speed up reheating time.
Additional Notes: • Vegetables can be roasted a few days ahead of time and wraps assembled as needed. • Experiment with roasting the vegetables you have on hand such as cauliflower, zucchini or beets. • Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the filling for extra sweet tangy flavor.
