Ingredients
Scale
For the Veggie Rolls:
- 8–10 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cucumber (julienned)
- 1 red bell pepper (julienned)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves
- ½ cup cooked rice noodles (optional)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
For the Peanut Sauce:
- ¼ cup peanut butter (smooth)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp garlic (minced)
- 1–2 tbsp warm water (to thin the sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare the Veggies:
Slice the carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and avocado into thin strips. Set aside. - Make the Peanut Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and warm water until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if necessary. - Soften the Rice Paper:
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper at a time into the water for about 10-15 seconds or until soft and pliable. - Assemble the Rolls:
Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface. In the center, add a small handful of rice noodles (if using), followed by a few strips of carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, cilantro, and mint. - Roll the Wraps:
Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling and then tightly roll from the bottom, folding in the edges as you go. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. - Serve:
Serve the veggie rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side for dipping. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls for added texture if desired.
Notes
- You can add other vegetables such as lettuce, sprouts, or shredded cabbage for more crunch.
- These rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent sticking, place parchment paper between the rolls.
