Ingredients for Sweet Potato Wraps
- Sweet Potatoes: The star of the dish, providing a naturally sweet and creamy base.
- Whole Wheat Wraps: These are the outer layer that holds all the delicious fillings together. Opt for gluten-free wraps if necessary.
- Bell Peppers: Add some color and crunch! Any color of bell pepper will work.
- Red Onion: Provides a zingy flavor to the wraps.
- Spinach Leaves: For a fresh and nutritious green element.
- Avocado: Adds creaminess and healthy fats, enhancing the overall texture.
- Olive Oil: Used for roasting sweet potatoes and drizzling for added flavor.
- Your Favorite Seasoning: Such as cumin, paprika, or chili powder to enhance the flavor.
How to Make Sweet Potato Wraps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, toss them with olive oil and your favorite seasoning, and spread onto the baking sheet.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
- While the potatoes are roasting, thinly slice the bell peppers and red onion, and prepare the spinach and avocado.
- Once sweet potatoes are done, assemble your wrap by layering the roasted sweet potatoes, fresh veggies, and avocado onto the whole wheat wrap.
- Roll the wrap tightly and cut in half to serve immediately or store for later!
Tips for Making
- Customize Fillings: Feel free to add any of your favorite vegetables or proteins such as grilled chicken or black beans for added nutrition.
- Perfect Roasting: Make sure to not overcrowd the baking sheet when roasting sweet potatoes to ensure they caramelize beautifully.
- Wrap It Up: If you’re making this for meal prep, wrap each sweet potato wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Make-Ahead Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. Assembly can take just a few minutes.
- Chop and prepare all vegetables, storing them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best quality, eat them cold or reheat slightly before eating.
Freezing Sweet Potato Wraps
- Wrap each sweet potato wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.
- Label them with the date and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating Sweet Potato Wraps
- For best results, reheat the wraps in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
