Collard Green Veggie Wraps
Collard Green Veggie Wraps is a quick and easy lunch option. This is a great appetizer idea for St. Patrick’s Day. They are healthy, fun, and delicious. Filled with healthy veggies. So tasty! These collard green wraps are fantastic for a variety of reasons. They’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, tasty, and, most importantly, interesting! To begin, bring a saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and blanch big collard greens leaves. Blanching the collard greens makes them much more pliable, simpler to wrap up, and more enjoyable to eat.
They are perfectly customizable! You may use any vegetables you have on hand, either raw or roasted for added taste. I used a variety of crisp raw vegetables (carrots, cucumber, radish, and cabbage) as well as roasted asparagus spears. I believe that including at least one roasted vegetable is ideal because it adds a different texture as well as a little caramelized, roasted flavor to the wrap.
What is Collard Green Leaves?
Collard green leaves are similar to mustard green, kale, and cabbage. In the south, they are popular side dishes and are known for heartiness. These veggies are rich in minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins, By eating them regularly, can reduce developing certain diseases.
Collard Green Wraps: How to Make Them
It’s time to wrap and roll after you’ve chosen your fillings. This is how I go about it:
- To begin, blanch a big collard leaf in boiling hot water for a few seconds. It’s only a matter of making it pliable. After patting it dry, cut the thick section of the stem with a paring knife.
- Then, in the center of the leaf, layer your fillings and tuck and roll! Use the images above and below as a reference, and the complete recipe may be seen below.
