The Spicy Spatula

I work at home which means I kinda-sorta always have time to break away from work to make lunch for myself and my hubs. Usually it’s a salad when it’s warm, a sandwich or soup when it’s not. All pretty simple, right?

When it comes to vegan lunch ideas, I like to keep it simple especially on days that I work out because my “lunch hour” becomes more of a siesta with an hour dedicated to exercise and one–give or take–dedicated to cooking. But contrary to what a lot of people seem to believe, loving to cook doesn’t mean that I always want to be in the kitchen, cooking hour-long meals.

Sometimes I just want something quick and easy but also super delicious and calorie friendly. Is that too much to ask?

Maybe it is, I don’t know. What I do know is that I bought these delicious accidentally vegan roti breads and I knew they would be perfect for a sandwich wrap. So grab your favorite veggie combination, add another side of veggies and whip up a quick and easy vegan lunch wrap.

What You’ll Need:

*Tongs
*Cutting board

Ingredients:

*Oyster mushrooms
*Onions
*Bell peppers (any color will do)
*Garlic
*Vegan yogurt

Instructions:

-Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F
-Cut oyster mushrooms into strips and lay out on a baking sheet in one layer.
-Season with your favorite herbs & spices such as paprika, cumin, garlic, oregano, thyme and turmeric.

-Chop onions and bell peppers, set aside.
-Mix vegan yogurt with garlic, dill, lemon and cumin. Set aside.
-Cook mushrooms in oven for 15 minutes. When the water has mostly gone, add onions and peppers and cook another 10 minutes.

-When mushrooms are crispy, remove the baking try from the oven.
-Warm roti wraps for about 30 to 45 seconds in the oven.
-Assemble wrap, drizzle with yogurt sauce or dip the vegan wrap into the vegan yogurt.
-Make whatever you like on the side. I found some beautiful summer/yellow squash and cooked that in the oven at the same time as the mushrooms.

That’s it. One of the best things about this vegan lunch recipe is that you can switch up the seasonings or add barbecue to make something totally different using the same recipe.
