Step-by-Step Instructions
Making these 5-Minute Veggie Coconut Wraps is incredibly fast and simple, with no cooking required. Follow these steps for perfect wraps every time.
Step 1: Prep the Wrap
- Lay 1 turmeric coconut wrap on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread 2 Tbsp (~32 g) hummus and 1½ Tbsp (~22 g) green curry paste on the end of the wrap closest to you.
Tip: Spread fillings thinly and evenly to avoid tearing the wrap; leave a small border for easy rolling.
Step 2: Add Fillings

- Arrange fillings in a line on the hummus-curry paste layer.
Tip: Slice vegetables thinly and chop kale finely for easier rolling; don’t overfill to prevent splitting.
Step 3: Roll and Serve
- Roll the wrap tightly away from you, tucking in the fillings as you go.
- Place seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Repeat for the remaining 4 wraps.
- Serve immediately.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to cut wraps in half for easier eating; secure with a toothpick if needed.
Assembly: Building the Perfect Veggie Coconut Wraps
Making these Veggie Coconut Wraps is all about creating a vibrant, balanced dish with fresh textures. Here’s how to make them perfect:
- Spread Evenly: Apply hummus and curry paste thinly for balanced flavor.
- Layer Thoughtfully: Arrange vegetables for even distribution and easy rolling.
- Roll Tightly: Tuck fillings snugly to keep wraps intact.
- Serve Fresh: Assemble just before eating to maintain crispness.
Presentation Tips:

- Pair with a keto-friendly side like a cucumber salad or pickled vegetables.
- Garnish with extra cilantro, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or a lime wedge for a polished look.
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be prepped for convenience. Here’s how to keep them fresh:
- Storing Leftovers:
- Store assembled wraps in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Store fillings (hummus, vegetables) separately in the fridge for up to 2 days to prevent sogginess.
- Avoid freezing, as coconut wraps and vegetables lose texture.
- Reheating:
- No reheating needed; serve cold or at room temperature.
- Refresh with a drizzle of lemon juice if needed.
- Make-Ahead Tips:
- Prep vegetables (bell pepper, carrots, kale) up to 2 days ahead; store in the fridge.
- Store hummus and curry paste separately in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Assemble wraps just before serving to keep wraps from softening.
Tip: Wrap tightly in parchment paper for portability; add cilantro fresh to maintain vibrancy.
Recipe Variations
These 5-Minute Veggie Coconut Wraps are versatile, drawing on your love for vibrant, veggie-forward dishes like Zoodle Stir-Fry and Panzanella Salad. Here are some fun ideas:
- Keto Veggie Wraps: Use keto tortillas, reduce carrots to ½ cup, and limit hummus to ⅓ cup (~3–4g net carbs per serving).
- Gluten-Free Version: Already gluten-free with coconut wraps; ensure hummus and curry paste are gluten-free.
- Spicy Veggie Wraps: Increase curry paste to 2 Tbsp per wrap or add a sliced jalapeño.
- Thai-Inspired: Swap hummus for peanut sauce and add ¼ cup shredded cabbage per wrap.
- Mediterranean Wraps: Use tzatziki instead of hummus and add olives or sun-dried tomatoes.
