Cauliflower Sweet Potato Chickpea Tikka Wraps with Quick Coconut Chutney. Coconut Chutney makes everything amazing! Easy Weekday Meal. Vegan Soy-free Nut-free Recipe. Can be gluten-free with gluten-free wraps or tacos.
Summer meals are often are simplified versions of some Indian spreads that can be served in hand held form, like wraps, tacos, burritos, burgers etc. These tikka wraps fall perfectly there. The Veggie Tikka or Kebabs that would usually be skewered and grilled, are all put on one baking sheet to bake to crisp. The medley is then served over warm rotis or tortillas dressed in coconut chutney.
This Coconut chutney is easy and addictive. You will want to put it over tacos, burgers and everything. Use seasonal vegetables of choice. Add some hearty greens to marinate and bake/grill. Serve these in tortillas or make a bowl with a generous drizzle of the coconut dressing. Don’t like coconut, use my Mint Cilantro Chutney instead. Make a huge helping of these tikka veggies as the marinade is super flavorful. It’s a super quick Sheet Pan Roasted Veggies + Chickpeas Dinner! Add the baked veggies to any other bowls, over salad, grill into sandwiches, and more this Summer.

Reading: This past weekend we helped a bit with a fundraiser for the Food Empowerment Project. FEP seeks to create a more just and sustainable world through food choices. They focus on finding choices that reflect a more compassionate society by spotlighting child labor, abuse of animals on farms, depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, the unavailability of healthy foods in communities of color and low-income areas, environmental impact and more.
From chocolate that comes from the worst forms of child labor, to Bananas an unsustainable monoculture crop, (banana industry being embroiled in countless labor and environmental (chemical pesticide usage) crises). FEP works on educating the consumer, getting answers and information from the options, suggesting options which consistently work on reducing these issues.
There is so much more to food production and with someone bringing this all together, we can use it to affect changes by requesting sustainable options or just by choosing to buy/use compassionate options over the other. You can find lists of suggested brands and options for some foods on the FEP website or their app.
Chop and assemble the veggies.
Add marinade and let sit for a few minutes.
Spread on parchment lined baking sheet. Spray oil and bake.
Serve in a bowl or as tacos with lettuce, greens and generous drizzle of coconut chutney.

- 1 green chile, thinly sliced (optional)

- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 inch knob of ginger
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 to 1 hot green chile, or use 2 tbsp finely chopped green bell pepper
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp paprika, combination or sweet and smoky
- 3/4 to 1 tsp garam masala or curry powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast, optional

Coconut chutney
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut, dried or fresh

- 1/2 inch ginger
- 1/4 to 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp sugar or maple
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds or ground mustard
- a pinch of cayenne, garlic powder, dash of lemon juice
Instructions
- Chop the vegetables and add to a bowl along with chickpeas if using.
- Blend the ingredients under marinade in a small blender. Alternatively, mince the ginger garlic, chile etc and mix in a bowl with other ingredients.If the marinate is too thin, add a tsp or so flour or more starch.
- Add the marinade to the veggie bowl and toss to combine well. Let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes while you preheat the oven or make the coconut chutney. Preheat the oven to 425 deg F.
- Spread the vegetables and chickpeas on a large parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the veggies lightly. Bake at 425 deg F for 25 to 30 mins.
- Let the veggies cool for 2 minutes, then carefully remove from sheet and place in warm tortillas or in a bowl. Add some crunchy greens, lettuce if desired. Add a generous drizzle of the coconut chutney or use other chutneys like Mint Cilantro Chutney
Coconut Chutney:
- Blend the chutney ingredients for half a minute, then let the mixture sit for 5 mins for the coconut to rehydrate. Blend again for a minute. Add more water if needed and blend again until half the coconut is smooth (1-2 minutes). Taste and adjust salt, flavor and blend for a few pulses. Use to dress the veggies in wraps or in a bowl.

Can’t wait to try this for the upcoming party. Which type of mustard seed shall i use – brown or yellow?
As always, delicious! I cannot get enough of your recipes, Richa! I cannot wait for your new cookbook…I pre-ordered it on Amazon as soon as I learned about it.
This recipe is so tasty…and you MUST make the chutney as well…yum!
Thank you Laura! and thank you for making so many of the recipes! I can’t wait for the book either!
Wow, what a clever idea! This filling looks perfect atop a salad as well!
Richa
Thank you for making me love cooking again! I adore your recipes, easy, simple ingredients, unpretentious and very tasty! this one was great! question if I make a big batch can I freeze it?
Got the stars to work now!!
This recipe is a keeper!! i just filled up on one tortilla and dh is on his third. I was a bit leery of the coconut chutney, but I was wrong; you were right! Excellent flavors and very different. So glad I made a double batch!! (Proof that I trust your flavor profiles and recipes) 🙂
NOTE: This is a 5-star recipe, but I can’t make the stars happen right now in Chrome.
yay!! yes coconut chutney is southern indian and the tikka are north indian flavors (also a more expected flavor), but they work really well together. The veggie tikka goes equally well with the mint chutney.
I just drooled on myself. Going on my to make ASAP list.
I love your recipes!! I do have a small request, if possible. Could you also include nutrional facts apended to your recipes??
Thanks!
I am adding it to the recipes. The popular recipes have it now and other recipes will get the values slowly over the next 2-3 months.
Perfect! Thanks!
Hi this looks wonderful! Where would I find the nutritional info that you mentioned would be added?
And thank you as well for all the Instant Pot recipes. I really appreciate them!
I am adding them to the posts a few posts everyday. There are 800+ recipes:). unfortunately there is some manual work involved even with the new widget i am using as it doesnt find some ingredients and i have to manually add and so on. You can use cronometer.com which is a free tool to calculate in the meanwhile. i’ll update this one tomorrow.

Amazing! I didnt know if I would like the coconut dressing with the very flavorful veggies, but it worked really well.

Do you think that would be good for a party? Special and tasty enough? Or it is more like an everyday recipe to you? I’m looking for something tasty, refined and that can be eaten with our hands (so I don’t have to wash so many dishes!) Or would the butternut tacos be a better choice to you? Do you shred it by hand? I can’t make pizza since I’m inviting a friend who made pizza last time…. That’s too bad because I particularly love your ethiopian pizza.. wondering if I could make wraps out of it.
Thank you so much,
yes you could make wraps with the pizza too! Bake some veggies (lots of peppers and onions) this way and Cook the chickpeas tossed in the berbere spices with some sauteed onion and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes in a pan. Serve both options with the tahini dressing. The tahini dressing will work with both. The fajita tacos are also really good as a filling for wraps. the chili lime dressing is great with beans, chickpeas, veggies.
you can also make the turmeric lentil fritters to serve in wraps or bowls with the tahini sauce. Those fritters are great snack as well.
what option do you think would taste the best?
