Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato, small cubes
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and dried
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 4 large flatbreads or tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato and dried chickpeas with oil, paprika, cumin and salt.
  2. Spread on a pan and roast 25–30 minutes, turning once, until sweet potato is tender and chickpeas browned.
  3. Mix yogurt, lemon and garlic.
  4. Warm flatbreads. Divide cabbage and roasted filling among them, spoon over sauce and roll tightly.

Roasted chickpeas alone can tumble out of a wrap; sweet potato gives them something soft to sit against. Add shredded cabbage for crunch and lemon yogurt for a cool contrast.

Dry the chickpeas first

Pat drained chickpeas thoroughly dry before tossing with oil and spice. They brown better and do not turn soggy in the wrap. Warm the flatbread briefly so it bends without cracking.

Serving and storage

Keep components separate for meal prep and assemble just before eating. The roasted filling keeps three days refrigerated; reheat it in a skillet or oven to restore some crispness.

Keep the filling crisp and the wrap easy to roll

Dry the drained chickpeas well before roasting. Cut the sweet potato into small pieces of similar size so it can soften while the chickpeas brown. An overcrowded pan traps moisture instead of encouraging crisp edges.

Warm the flatbread before filling and leave space at the edges. Add the yogurt sauce just before eating: a wet filling left inside the wrap will gradually soften the bread and cabbage.

Can I pack these wraps for later?

Pack the bread, roasted filling, cabbage, and sauce separately when possible, then assemble before eating. This protects the texture. Follow safe refrigeration guidance for the cooked filling and yogurt sauce.
