Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Prepare vegetables
- In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

- 7. Serve
- Arrange pinwheels in a candy cane shape on a platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Ensure the vegetables are sliced evenly for consistent roasting and an attractive striped pattern. Let the roasted veggies cool sufficiently before assembling to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy. Rolling the tortillas tightly helps maintain their shape when sliced.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For extra flavor, use roasted garlic or red pepper hummus instead of plain. Add roasted beet or carrot strips to introduce more colors and layers of taste. Swap spinach tortillas for whole wheat or flavored varieties if desired.
