Flatbreads make such a great quick lunch. You can throw together your favourite veggies and protein and add them to your flatbreads. It’s the perfect option when you’re bored of the regular sandwich, but still need a quick and tasty lunch. These harissa roasted sweet potato and butterbean flatbreads are a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, creamy, and crunchy. The sweet potato fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the butterbeans are creamy and add a lovely texture to the wraps. The harissa adds a spicy kick, and the vegan yoghurt sauce cools everything down with its creamy tanginess. The fresh cucumber, lambs lettuce, and mint add a refreshing crunch that brings everything together.
Perfect for lunch on the go.
You can meal prep many of the elements for these flatbreads in advance, so all you need to do is make them up on the day. The sweet potato and butter beans can be cooked up and stored in the fridge, so assembling it with the fresh ingredients is all that needs doing. This way, you’ve got a delicious and quick lunch whenever you need it. Pack them up and take these to work, on a picnic, or enjoy whilst working from home.
These flatbreads are full of delicious plant-based protein.
We’ve added one of our favourite plant-based proteins to these wraps: butterbeans! They’re so versatile, which is why we love them so much. You can mash them with lemon and garlic, add them straight out of the can into salads, or fry them up with some herbs and serve them on toast. For this recipe, we’ve roasted them. Roasted butterbeans or cannellini beans are a great way of adding a tasty crunch to a dish. The insides stay lovely and soft and the outside goes nice and crunchy. If you’ve never had roasted butterbeans before, we think you’re going to love them!
Tips to keep in mind when cooking this dish:
- If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought sweet potato fries instead of cutting them yourself. However, homemade sweet potato fries taste much better and are easy to make.
- When roasting the sweet potato fries and butterbeans, make sure they are spread out evenly on the baking tray to ensure even cooking.
- To add more depth to the flavour, you can sprinkle za’atar over the top of the flatbreads before baking.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of harissa paste.
- For a twist on the recipe, you can add some sliced avocado to the dish or swap out the flatbread for pita bread or tortilla wrap.
