Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry Wraps

For someone who loves food so much, sometimes I’m truly amazed by how little I know.

I have a recent and newfound love for curry powder, and while I’ve never really given much thought to what curry powder actually is, I guess I just assumed it was made from dehydrated and ground curry. But it’s not, and likely most of you already know that. It’s actually a blend of spices, typically including coriander, turmeric, cumin, and chili peppers. Some blends add in ginger, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and nutmeg, among other things. Knowing this, I now know why I love curry powder, seeing as I love each and every one of those spices!

Either my ignorance regarding curry powder has lost any credibility I may or may not have had with you, or I’ve just educated you as well! Either way, I think I think it’s safe to say there will be more curry recipes soon to come, starting with these Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Curry Wraps. I’ve grown to love incorporating naan and pita bread into our dinners. As much as I love veggies, the bread helps create a heartier meal, leaving me satisfied and full in the evenings. And since it’s not uncommon for our dinners to be vegetarian, they help bring a decent dose of protein to the meal. For these curry wraps, I picked up a pack of these Mini Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Pita Bread at Publix and used three per serving, which totaled 15 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber with only 3 grams fat and 150 calories – yes please! Aside from the nutritional benefits they bring to the table, they pair beautifully with the bold flavor of these curry roasted veggies and avocado hummus spread.

The avocado hummus spread is a breeze to make and can be easily tailored to your taste bud preferences. I added a light dash of salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic powder to ours, but you could easily add a bit of crushed red pepper for a kick, or leave out the garlic if you’re not a fan. Either way, it’s adds a lovely savory contrast to the inherent sweetness from the potatoes and perfectly balances out the flavors.
