Ingredients
Servings
3
- 1 whole medium sweet potato
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup canned chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup mild baby spinach leaves
- 6 pieces rice paper wrappers
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Toss diced sweet potato cubes with olive oil and spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender and soft when pierced. Allow to cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, prepare nut-free hummus by blending rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, cumin (optional), and water until smooth and creamy. Add more water by teaspoons if needed for a soft, toddler-safe spreadable texture.
-
Soften one rice paper wrapper by dipping in warm water for 10-15 seconds until pliable but not fragile.
-
Place about 1 tablespoon of hummus along the lower third of the wrapper and spread gently.
-
Add a spoonful of roasted sweet potato cubes and a few baby spinach leaves atop the hummus.
-
Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll tightly from bottom up to enclose filling completely, forming a neat roll.
-
Repeat for remaining wrappers and fillings.
-
Slice rolls into toddler-friendly bite-sized pieces for safe finger food and pack in an airtight container.
-
Make ahead by storing in the refrigerator up to 24 hours. To keep wrappers soft, wrap rolls in a slightly damp paper towel inside the container.
