Ingredients for Sweet Potato Wraps

 

  • Sweet Potatoes: The main ingredient, providing natural sweetness and nutrients. Peeling and cubing them make preparation easier.
  • Tortillas: Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas for a healthier option that can hold the filling.
  • Avocado: Adds creaminess and healthy fats. Cut into slices and layer onto the wraps.
  • Spinach: Fresh spinach adds a nutritious crunch and is packed with vitamins.
  • Black Beans: A great source of protein and fiber to keep you full longer. Canned black beans are quick and convenient.
  • Feta Cheese: Offers a tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. Crumbled feta works well.
  • Olive Oil: Used for roasting the sweet potatoes for added flavor. Toss them in it for better seasoning.

How to Make Sweet Potato Wraps

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your other ingredients—slice avocados, rinse and drain black beans, and wash spinach.
  5. Once sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
  6. To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla flat, spread a layer of black beans, then add roasted sweet potatoes, avocado slices, spinach, and crumbled feta on top.
  7. Wrap tightly, securing the fillings tightly inside. Cut in half to serve.
