Veggie Spring Rolls with Plant-Based Protein
Veggie Spring Rolls with Plant-Based Protein are a delicious and healthy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. These rolls are packed with fresh vegetables and plant-based protein, making them a nutritious and satisfying snack.
To make these rolls, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 2 rice paper wrappers
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced avocado
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
To start, prepare all of your ingredients and set them aside. Fill a large bowl with warm water and dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable. Lay the wrapper flat on a clean surface.
In the center of the wrapper, place a small amount of quinoa, followed by a small amount of each vegetable, herbs, and peanuts. Be careful not to overfill the wrapper, as this will make it difficult to roll.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom up, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second roll.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil to make a dipping sauce. Serve the rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
These Veggie Spring Rolls with Plant-Based Protein are a refreshing and flavorful appetizer that is sure to impress your guests. The combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, and peanuts creates a satisfying crunch, while the quinoa adds a boost of protein. The dipping sauce adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that complements the rolls perfectly.
