Vegan Collard Green Wraps are fresh, crunchy, and nutrient-packed bundles filled with colorful vegetables, creamy spreads, and optional plant-based proteins. They’re naturally vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for a light meal or snack.

Ingredients

  1. 4 large collard green leaves
  2. 1/2 cup hummus or other vegan spread (avocado mash, tahini sauce, etc.)
  3. 1 carrot, julienned
  4. 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  5. 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  6. 1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
  7. 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional)
  8. 1/2 cup cooked tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas (optional)
  9. 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  10. Salt and pepper, to taste
  11. Optional: sprouts, fresh herbs, hot sauce

Instructions

Rinse collard leaves and pat dry. Trim the thick stem at the base to make rolling easier.

  1. Optional: Lightly steam or blanch leaves for 10–15 seconds to make them more pliable. Pat dry.
  2. Place each leaf darker side down. Spread about 2 tbsp hummus or chosen spread in the center.
  3. Layer with carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, cabbage, and optional grains or protein.
  4. Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fold in the sides, then roll from the bottom up tightly like a burrito.
  6. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately, or wrap tightly for later.

Notes

  1. For a spicier wrap, add jalapeños, sriracha, or spicy hummus.
  2. Keep fillings dry to prevent sogginess.
  3. Store fillings and leaves separately for meal prep and assemble before eating.
  4. Collard greens can be eaten raw or blanched for tenderness.
