directions

Prep all your vegetables and arrange them in separate piles for easy assembly.
If using rice paper, fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one wrapper in for 10–15 seconds until soft. If using collard greens, trim the thick stem and steam lightly to make pliable.
Place the softened wrapper or leaf on a flat surface. Layer a small amount of each vegetable in the center along with a few herbs and avocado slices.
Fold in the sides, then roll tightly like a burrito. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To make the peanut sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Add more water as needed to reach dipping consistency.
Slice roll-ups in half if desired and serve with peanut sauce on the side.

FAQs

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes, but for best texture, enjoy them within 24 hours. Keep them covered with a damp cloth to stay fresh.

What’s the best way to soften rice paper?

Dip in warm water for about 10–15 seconds until soft but not mushy. Don’t soak too long or it may tear.

Can I use store-bought peanut sauce?

You can, but homemade offers better flavor and control over ingredients.

Are these roll-ups low-carb?

They are mostly vegetables, but rice paper adds a small amount of carbs. Use leafy greens for a lower-carb version.

Can I substitute the peanut butter?

Yes, almond butter or sunflower seed butter works well for allergy-friendly options.

Do I need a dipping sauce?

It’s highly recommended—the sauce adds flavor depth, but you can use other dips like tahini, soy-ginger, or sriracha mayo.

What if I don’t have all the veggies listed?

Use what you have! Bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers are great, but feel free to improvise.

Are these roll-ups kid-friendly?

Yes! Let kids help assemble their own with their favorite veggies.

Can I pack these for lunch?

Absolutely. Wrap tightly in plastic or parchment and keep the sauce in a separate container.

What herbs taste best in these?

Mint, cilantro, and basil are most common and add bright, fresh flavor.
