Serves: 4 wraps
Ingredients
4 naans or other thick flatbread
1 med-large Italian eggplant, cut into ½ inch wide strips lengthwise (optional: peel your eggplant before cutting)
1 zucchini, cut into ¼ inch wide strips lengthwise
8-10 white mushrooms, whole
2 red peppers, whole
3-4 Tbsp. oil (coconut oil and avocado oil are great for high-heat grilling!)
1.5 tsp. oregano
1.5 tsp. black pepper

Instructions
Salt the eggplant and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, wipe the water and salt from the top of the eggplant with a napkin.
Toss all vegetables in oil and then lay flat.
Sprinkle with oregano and black pepper.
Grill or barbecue all vegetables until they are cooked through and have a bit of char to them.
Slice mushrooms and peel and slice red peppers.
Warm naan up slightly on a skillet and then spread 1-2 T of hummus down the middle. On top of this, layer one piece of eggplant, 1 piece of zucchini, mushrooms, and red peppers.
Wrap the naan, using a toothpick to secure if necessary.
