Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 2 ripe avocados, diced
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup cooked sushi rice, seasoned with rice vinegar
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato strips with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.
- In a bowl, combine diced avocado, mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Gently mix to make the salsa, seasoning with salt to taste.
- Prepare a shallow dish of warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a clean surface.
- Place a small amount of seasoned sushi rice in the center of the wrapper. Top with roasted sweet potato strips, cucumber, and carrot juliennes.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from bottom to top to form a spring roll sushi. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
- Slice each roll in half diagonally and arrange on a plate. Serve with avocado-mango salsa on the side, drizzle with soy sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
