If you have leftover cooked quinoa on hand, these delicious cardamom-scented sweet potato wraps come together in no time and are perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or anytime meal. Crunchy apple pairs beautifully with the soft sweet potato and slightly nutty quinoa, while fresh spinach adds a burst of green goodness. A little peanut butter, maple syrup, and apple juice add just the right touch of richness to round out every bite.
Tips
Gluten-free version: To make these gluten-free, use a gluten-free whole grain wrap.
Pack to go: Heading out? Wrap your roll in parchment paper—it keeps things snug and makes for easy, mess-free munching!
Apples: Tart apples work best here to highlight the sweet potato’s natural sweetness.
If you’re cooking the quinoa from scratch: Rinse and drain ⅔ cup dry quinoa. In a small saucepan combine quinoa and 1⅓ cup water. Cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Let cool 30 minutes before using in wraps.
