Spinach Roll-Up

Spinach is a great power food. It's rich in Calcium, Vitamins K and A, and has anti-inflammatory benefits. It's a green that should definitely be used in your every day diet. This roll-up is a tasty way to eat more greens. Make this in advance for a quick and healthy lunch, snack, or appetizer.

                

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Drain a can of spinach and mix in 2 egg whites. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture out evenly on parchment paper and place in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the edges are browned. Once it's cooked, flip the parchment paper over and carefully place the spinach wrap on top of a piece of plastic wrap. Spread the hummus out evenly across the wrap. Now add the horseradish, tomato, and roasted pepper.

               

 Carefully roll up and wrap in the plastic wrap. Keep it in the fridge for about to hours two hold its shape.

                

Now just cut into pieces and serve! This is a great dish for lunch, or even as an appetizer. Other options for fillings are low fat cream cheese with lox, or mustard with lean deli meat. Serve cold and enjoy!
