This recipe is a wonderful example of a balanced, hormone-supportive meal. Sweet potatoes provide fiber and complex carbohydrates to support steady energy and healthy blood sugar levels, while navy beans add plant-based protein and additional fiber to help keep you feeling satisfied. Tahini (one of my favorite things to eat!) contributes healthy fats, calcium, and magnesium which are important nutrients for hormone production and nervous system support. The fresh herbs and colorful vegetables provide antioxidants that help support your body's natural detoxification pathways, which we all need some help with! It's simple, nourishing, and packed with ingredients your body will thank you for. 🌿
Ingredients:
- 2 Sweet Potato (peeled, chopped)
- 1/16 oz Avocado Oil Spray
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
- 4 Rice Paper Wraps
- 3/4 cup Thai Basil
- 2 cups White Navy Beans (cooked, drained, rinsed)
- 1 can Carrot (medium, julienned)
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 1/2 Lemon (juiced)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Spray with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until cooked through. Let cool slightly.
- Soften one sheet of rice paper by submerging it in a shallow dish of water for five seconds. Transfer to a plate. Arrange the basil, sweet potato, beans, and carrots on top.
- Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly until fully wrapped and transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- In a bowl, whisk the tahini and lemon juice. Season with salt, and add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
- Serve the summer rolls with the tahini sauce. Enjoy!
