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

Freezing Sweet Potato Wraps
- Wrap each sweet potato wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil.

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.
