Roll with It: Simple Rice Paper Rolls for School Lunches

Roll with it! Lilly requested healthy rice paper rolls in her lunchbox this morning, so I thought we share the recipe for anyone looking for lunchbox inspiration.

These easy DIY rice paper rolls are perfect for school lunches and so versatile! We used chicken, avocado, lettuce, carrot, and cucumber, but you can fill them with anything you have at home—think red onion, tuna, corn, tomatoes or even rice noodles—the possibilities are endless.

INGREDIENTS

• Rice paper sheets

• Cooked chicken, shredded or sliced

• Avocado, sliced

• Lettuce leaves, chopped

• Carrot, grated

• Cucumber, sliced

• Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)

METHOD

1. Prepare your ingredients - wash & cut

2. Prepare the rice paper following packet instructions

3. Assemble the rolls - place the ingredients in the centre of the rice paper

4. Roll it up - fold the sides of the rice paper in, then roll from the bottom, tucking in the filling as you go to form a tight roll.

5. Place in lunchbox with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping

Tips: I wrapped these rolls in baking paper to stop them from sticking to each other in the lunchbox. Use whatever fresh ingredients you have in your fridge & pantry. To save time in the morning making these, prepare ingredients the night before so all you need to do is roll them in the morning.

A fun, fresh way to keep lunch exciting and nutritious. Enjoy!
