Description
Fresh, crunchy jicama rolls filled with colorful vegetables, sprouts, herbs, jalapeño, and chopped peanuts. Served with a creamy peanut sauce flavored with lime, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar.
Yield: 6 servings of 2 rolls each, totalling 12 rolls | ¾ cup (180ml) sauce (1 tablespoon [15ml] per wrap)
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Storage: for a few hours once constructed. Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Higher Protein: Add ¾ cup (105g) frozen shelled edamame, thawed, and replace the peanuts with ⅓ cup (53g) toasted pumpkin seeds (350°F [175°C] for roughly 7 minutes)
Make It a Salad: omit the jicama wraps and the alfalfa sprouts. Add 8 cups (240g) mixed baby greens or chopped lettuce. Divide the greens and remaining roll ingredients between 4 dinner bowls and top each with 3 tablespoons (45ml) of sauce. If you find the sauce too thick for your dressing preferences, thin with additional water.

Instructions
-
Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl or put in a small jar and shake to combine. Set aside.
-
Prepare all other roll ingredients as per the ingredient list.
-
Lay the jicama wraps out on a clean countertop and divide the remaining roll ingredients equally between them. Place the ingredients in stacked line down the middle.
-
Drizzle the wraps with the sauce, 1 tablespoon per wrap.
-
Fold the empty sides of the jicama wraps over the filling ingredients to form rolls. The rolls will be pretty full. Optionally, pierce with toothpicks to hold rolls closed for serving.
-
Enjoy soon after constructing.
Notes
- If omitting the jalapeño pepper, a quarter of a green bell pepper could be used in its place. Or, you could use some additional red bell pepper or add another green onion.
- According to package labels, oil-roasted peanuts typically contain more net carbs than what American national nutritional data suggests. Check your labels. National data has been used in my macro calculations.
- Macros for this recipes are calculated with American national nutritional data (i.e. NCCDB & USDA entries in Cronometer) for all ingredients apart from nutritional yeast flakes (a mixture of Bob's Redmill and Foods Alive unfortified), and the pumpkin seeds (Bob's Redmill), coconut wraps (Nuco), and sunflower seed butter (Sunbutter) which are mentioned in the optional variations to the original recipe.
- Macro numbers are rounded. Numbers equal to or greater than 10g are rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 10g, 11g, 12g, etc.) and numbers below 10g are rounded to the nearest 0.5g (0.5g, 1g, 1.5g ... 9g, 9.5g). Any numbers below 0.5g are given as is (e.g. 0.1g, 0.2g, etc.). Calories are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5.
