Healthy Sweet Potato Wraps

This is a hearty and healthy vegetarian/vegan recipe that a friend made for us when we had him over. You can season the mixture any way you see fit, but I've found the cumin really gives it a nice kick. Enjoy! Tastes great cooled as well!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 (15 ounce) can lentils, drained and rinsed
• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 6 tablespoons barbeque sauce, divided
• 6 whole wheat Lebanese-style pita bread rounds

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir broccoli in hot oil until tender yet still crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir sweet potatoes, lentils, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt into broccoli; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and cook until hot, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon barbeque sauce into each pita round. Scoop about 1 cup of sweet potato mixture into each pita and wrap each, folding up the bottom of the pita first, followed by the sides. Secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
