Ingredients for Sweet Potato Wraps
Save- 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
Save- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your other ingredients—slice avocados, rinse and drain black beans, and wash spinach.
- Once sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- 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.
- Wrap tightly, securing the fillings tightly inside. Cut in half to serve.
