rice paper rolls

 

these are truly one of my favorites!! so easy to make and fill with any veggies that you would like- it makes for a really refreshing snack, appetizer or even light summer dinner.

finding a rice paper wrap that is gluten free is pretty simple. they are usually made from rice and tapioca. ( ** they are not marked gluten free but i have never had an issue when eating them** ) they are so simple to use, fill a shallow large bowl with really warm to hot water - let the rice paper wrap soak in it for about 15-20 seconds then take out and lay flat on a plate and start to fill. then roll up like a burrito.. so simple and so yummy!! dip into a sweet chili sauce - make sure you read to make sure its gluten free!!! the brand pictured above, simply asia, is completely safe - with that wonderful GLUTEN FREE stamp on it- and does NOT contain soy or dairy either.

i typically use these fillers- not all at once, but get creative and make a yummy & healthy treat for your family!!

  1. Where did you find the rice wraps? I really want to make these for the kids to put in their lunch boxes, and of course for myself :)
