How to make sweet potatoes egg rolls

Answer 1

To make sweet potato egg rolls, you will need:

- 1 large sweet potato
- Egg roll wrappers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for some heat
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Sweet chili sauce or dipping sauce of your choice for serving

Here's how to make the sweet potato egg rolls:

1. Start by peeling and cutting the sweet potato into small cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until they are soft and easily mashed. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet along with the ground cumin, ground paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

4. Remove the skillet from heat and allow the sweet potato filling to cool slightly.

5. Take an egg roll wrapper and place about 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato filling in the center. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it tightly to seal. You can use water to moisten the edges of the wrapper if needed.

6. Repeat the process with the remaining egg roll wrappers and sweet potato filling.

7. In a large frying pan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the sweet potato egg rolls into the hot oil and cook until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

8. Once the egg rolls are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9. Serve the sweet potato egg rolls hot with sweet chili sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
