⏱️ Time Required:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
🛒 Ingredients:
For the filling:
4–5 slices halloumi cheese (about 100g)
1/2 zucchini, sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 small red onion, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp dried oregano (or thyme)
For the wrap:
1–2 large flatbreads, pita, or whole wheat tortillas
2 tbsp hummus or baba ganoush
Handful arugula or baby spinach
Optional: cherry tomatoes, fresh mint, pickled red onion, chili flakes
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Roast the veggies
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion in olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
(Alternatively, sauté or grill the veggies in a skillet if short on time.)
2. Grill the halloumi
While the veggies roast, heat a nonstick or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add halloumi slices and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Set aside on a plate.
3. Warm the flatbread
Lightly warm the flatbread on a skillet or in the oven until soft and pliable.
4. Assemble the wrap
Spread hummus or baba ganoush across the center of the flatbread.
Layer with roasted veggies, grilled halloumi, arugula, and any optional toppings.
Roll tightly like a burrito or fold like a gyro wrap.
5. Serve
Cut in half and serve warm with a side of olives or Greek yogurt with honey.
💡 Tips & Notes:
Meal prep tip: Roast veggies ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Don’t skip the grill on halloumi – it develops the best texture and flavor when seared.
Add a fried or soft-boiled egg if you want extra breakfast protein.
For a creamy kick, drizzle with tahini lemon sauce or a dollop of labneh.
