Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
Olive oil
Smoked paprika
Cumin
Salt and pepper
Tortillas or wraps (whole wheat, spinach, or regular)
Fresh greens (spinach, lettuce, or arugula)
Sliced avocado
Red onion, thinly sliced
Shredded carrots or cabbage
Hummus, Greek yogurt, or your favorite sauce/dressing
Optional: crumbled feta, hot sauce, lime juice

Directions

I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
I toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Then I roast them for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
While the sweet potatoes cook, I prep the other fillings—slice the veggies, mash the avocado, and warm the tortillas if needed.
I spread hummus or sauce on each tortilla, then layer with greens, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced avocado, and any other toppings I’m using.
I roll them up tightly and slice in half to serve immediately, or wrap in foil to save for later.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 wraps and takes about 35 minutes total. It’s great for meal prepping or for a quick, satisfying vegetarian lunch or dinner.

Variations

I sometimes add black beans or chickpeas for extra protein and fiber.
For a Mediterranean twist, I use tzatziki sauce and add olives and cucumbers.
When I want more crunch, I throw in some roasted nuts or seeds.
I use gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves when I’m avoiding gluten or carbs.
I make it spicy by adding jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha.

storage/reheating

I store the components separately in the fridge for up to 4 days, then assemble fresh wraps as needed. If I’ve already built the wraps, I keep them wrapped in foil or an airtight container and eat them cold or at room temperature. The roasted sweet potatoes reheat well in the microwave or oven if I want them warm.

FAQs

Can I eat these wraps cold?

Yes, I often eat them cold straight from the fridge, especially for lunch. They also taste great slightly warmed, depending on the fillings.

Can I use canned sweet potatoes?

Fresh roasted sweet potatoes give the best texture and flavor, but if I’m short on time, I’ve used canned ones—just drained, seasoned, and pan-seared quickly.

What kind of sauce works best?

I love hummus, tahini sauce, ranch, or a simple yogurt-lemon dressing. It depends on the flavor profile I’m going for.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

I let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before wrapping, and I avoid adding too much sauce. If I’m packing them, I wrap them in parchment or foil to help them hold up.

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, I use vegan tortillas and skip cheese or use plant-based options. Most sauces like hummus or tahini are naturally vegan.

Conclusion

Sweet Potato Wraps are one of my favorite go-to meals when I want something healthy, filling, and packed with flavor. They’re easy to prep, great for on-the-go, and endlessly customizable. Whether I’m eating plant-based or just want something fresh and satisfying, these wraps never disappoint.
