Squash & Fennel Veggie Wrap with Pesto

I love me a good veggie wrap! This one is pretty darn good too. Well balanced macros and high in fiber so you'll feel very satisfied in your tummy. It was a HOT summer day when I made this one so I didn't use the oven instead I used my air fryer and it worked wonderfully. Below is the directions for the oven but feel free to try it in the air fryer. Just lower the temp and time to cook. Just keep an eye on it and cook it to your desired done-ness. Like it crispy? Cook it longer. Easy peasy. The last step is to drizzle cilantro pesto. You can leave it off if you are not a cilantro person or just swap it for spinach or basil pesto. Just watch the fat content and if you are making it vegan, make sure there's no cheese in it.

7 oz squash thinly sliced

1 baby fennel thinly sliced
