Satay Skewers with Spicy Sweet Potatoes Rice Paper Rolls
Ingredients:
– 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon chili flakes
– 12 sheets of rice paper
– Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
– Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
4. In the meantime, prepare the satay sauce by combining peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and chili flakes in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until well combined and smooth. Set aside.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
6. To assemble the rice paper rolls, fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a sheet of rice paper into the water for a few seconds until it softens. Place it on a clean surface.
7. Place a few sweet potato cubes in the center of the rice paper, drizzle with satay sauce, and add a few cilantro leaves.
8. Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling and roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
9. Serve the satay skewers with spicy sweet potatoes rice paper rolls garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
