Photographing wraps isn’t my favorite thing to do, but I sure do love eating them. These Curry Lentil Wraps with Roasted Sweet Potato are packed with flavor, protein, and vegetables. You can make the lentil salad beforehand, and then you’ll need only about 5 minutes to throw together these wraps each morning.
Why You’ll Love These Easy Vegetarian Wraps
They’re great for meal prep – I like to make the lentil and sweet potato mixture ahead of time, and then it takes me about 5 minutes each morning to roll up a wrap and pack it for lunch.
They’re packed with protein – These wraps are great because they’re packed with protein from the lentils and feta, keeping the body satisfied and energetic all afternoon.
They’re full of flavor – The lentils and sweet potato are tossed in a flavorful curry tahini sauce that really packs a punch! These lentil wraps are anything but boring.
Why Your Body Will Love This Nutrient-Packed Lunch
Digestion – Lentils are high in fiber and protein, filling you up and keeping you feeling full for long periods. The plant-based lentil protein also helps the body build and maintain muscle, bones, and skin. The fiber in lentils aids in keeping our digestive systems running smoothly so we don’t get constipated.
Antioxidants – Bright-colored fruits and vegetables, like sweet potatoes, celery, and cranberries, are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants protect our bodies from damage caused by free radicals and unstable molecules that can increase disease risk.
Heart Health – Sweet potatoes contain potassium and magnesium, which help reduce blood pressure and stroke risk and can also lower cholesterol.
Roasted Sweet Potato and Lentil Wrap Recipe Ingredients
Lentils – I used pre-cooked lentils that I got from Trader Joe’s. I love homemade lentils, but they take some time to prepare. You can usually find canned lentils in the canned bean section at most grocery stores.
Sweet Potato – Sweet potato and lentils go together really well and I love the texture the roasted sweet potato adds to these wraps. I like to roast my sweet potatoes with paprika, garlic, and cumin.
Feta Cheese – You don’t need to add cheese to these wraps, but if you like, some crumbled feta adds great flavor and creaminess. It also adds extra protein.
Celery – Celery adds a refreshing crunch to this lentil salad recipe. You can also use cucumber if you like.
Onion – I added diced red onion, but you can use any color of onion you prefer. A thinly sliced green onion will also work well.
Dried Cranberries – Dried cranberries add a tart sweetness and a nice pop of color. You can use dried cherries or golden raisins.
Walnuts – I like adding a few tablespoons of chopped, toasted walnuts. They have a nice crunch and a toasty flavor.
Fresh Herbs – You can add any of your favorite herbs. I like to use parsley because it’s affordable and usually on hand.
Dressing – For this lentil salad, I used an easy tahini dressing with curry powder. The tahini adds a lovely creaminess, and the curry flavor complements the lentils and sweet potato.
Wraps – I used a burrito-sized flour tortilla. Any kind of wrap can be used.
How To Make Curry Lentil and Sweet Potato Wraps
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Add the diced sweet potato to a large sheet pan, along with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and cinnamon. Toss together until the sweet potatoes are fully coated. Roast in the oven until golden brown and fork-tender, about 30 minutes, flipping once.
To a large bowl, add all curry tahini dressing ingredients, excluding the water, and whisk until combined. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and whisk until creamy. Next, add the cooked lentils, roasted sweet potato, feta cheese, celery, red onion, dried cranberries, walnuts and parsley. Mix everything together until completely combined.
I recommend heating your wrap in a frying pan or microwave for a few seconds so that it’s easier to roll up. Lay the wrap on a clean, flat surface. Spread 1-2 Tablespoons of mashed avocado in the middle of the wrap (as pictured above). Then, top with about 1 cup of the lentil salad mixture. Use your hands to carefully fold the sides of the wrap inward and then tightly roll up the other sides. Cut the wrap in half, if desired, and enjoy.
What lentils are best for lentil salad? I used brown lentils that I bought pre-cooked from Trader Joe’s. If you cook your own lentils, you can use Petite French lentils or regular brown lentils, but I do not recommend red lentils, as they’re more mushy in texture. Canned brown lentils will work, too, and cut down on time.
Can different vegetables be added? Yes, feel free to add any extra veggies you like!
Can this salad be made ahead of time? Yes, lentil salad is great to make ahead of time because as the days go by, the lentils soak up more of the dressing.
How long does this salad last? If stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, this alad should last about 4-5 days.

Complete List of Fruits that Start with the Letter U (#1 is so ugly!)
Ok, fruits beginning with U is a tricky one. But don’t let that stop you. Read on for the full list!
It’s a strange list, this one, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did putting it together! It also contains my favourite fruit of all time.
Let’s see what fruit begins with the letter U and how you can use it if it’s up for grabs in your area.
Unveil the most popular fruits that start with U!
What’s a fruit that starts with U? The type of fruit I’m going for is considered culinary fruit, either by tradition or by scientific definition.
Ugli
The ugli fruit (such a mean name!), also known as Jamaican tangelo and uniq fruit, is a hybrid of grapefruit, tangerine, and Seville orange. Its distinctive look and taste were developed in Jamaica.
The citrus fruit has rough, wrinkled skin ranging in color from yellowish-green to orange. The fruit is bigger than a grapefruit and relatively simple to peel.
The ugli fruit taste suits many cocktails, smoothies, sweets, and sauces. If you don’t like grapefruit, you might want to give this one a try because it’s much less acidic.
You can also tell people you’ve made an ‘ugli cocktail!’.
The botanical name of the ugli fruit tree is Citrus reticulata × paradisi.
Ugni
Only one letter different, ugni, commonly known as Chilean guava or Ugni molinae, is a fruit-bearing shrub from Chile and Argentina.
This U fruit is round or oval and approximately the size of a blueberry (or a tiny grape). Fresh berries are deep red in colour and have white flesh.
Taste-wise, ugni berries fall in between the sweetness of strawberries and the tartness of cranberries and kiwis. They’re used to make jams, jellies, sauces, sweets, and drinks.
Umari fruit, technically known as Poraqueiba sericea, is a tropical fruit from the Amazon jungle in South America. Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador are its main locations.
Umari fruit is usually 2 to 4 cm in diameter. It has smooth and glossy skin that has a green or yellow color when unripe and turns a brilliant orange or red when completely ripe.
This unique fruit has a very creamy texture and buttery flavor. In fact, locals use it like butter to put over their bread. How cool is that?
Umbu
Spondias tuberosa, known as imbu, umbu, or Brazil plum is a Brazilian tropical fruit. It’s popular in the northeast of Brazil for its refreshing taste.
The round or oval Umbu fruit has thin and smooth green-to-yellow skin. Its sweet and tangy flesh combines pineapple, mango, and citrus burst of flavor.
Fresh umbu fruit is eaten by peeling the skin and eating the flesh or squeezing out the juice. Various drinks, ice cream, and pastries employ the juice.
Umbu jams and jellies can be smeared on toast or eaten as a topping or dip.
Umbra
Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands are home to the fruit-bearing tree Umbra (Spondias dulcis). You can also come across the names ambarella, June plum, and golden apple.
Umbra fruits are round, like little mangoes or apricots. Their ripe skin is smooth, yellow or golden, and somewhat fuzzy.
This U fruit tastes like a fusion of mango, pineapple, and citrus. It’s eaten raw or added to salads, sweets, and chutneys. Some cultures pickle young, immature fruit as a condiment.
Ume
Ume fruit also goes by the names Chinese plum, Japanese plum, and Japanese apricot. It’s a tree species native to East Asia and popular in Japanese dishes.
Its thin, fuzzy skin is green to yellow when unripe and crimson to orange when ripe. It has luscious, acidic flesh.
Ume fruit is culturally significant in Japanese cuisine and is used to produce umeboshi, a traditional condiment.
Umeboshi are pickled ume fruits preserved in salt and occasionally scented with shiso leaves. These sour, salty pickled fruits are consumed as a side dish or in rice balls (onigiri).
Umeshu, a Japanese liqueur, is also made from ume. It’s a sweet and fragrant drink created by soaking the fruits in alcohol, usually shochu or sake, and sugar.
Ume has potential health benefits in addition to its culinary usage. It may improve digestion, promote liver function, and supply antioxidants and vitamins.
This species is a member of the Prunus genus which includes plums, peaches, and cherries. It goes by the scientific name Prunus mume.
Usakhelauri grape
Usakhelauri, a rare Georgian grape variety (Vitis vinifera), makes excellent red wines. It’s mostly grown in Lechkhumi and Racha in western Georgia. Every year for my birthday I have red wine and cheese, and this one is my next plan. Roll on summer!
Usakhelauri grapes are dark purple or black and tiny. Their flavor profile and high sugar content create sweet and fragrant wines.
Usakhelauri grapes are notoriously low-yielding, making them a difficult variety to grow. Grapes are normally harvested with the utmost care and hand-picked.
Wines made from this grape are highly sought after by connoisseurs because of their rarity and high quality.
Uva Rara grape
Uva Rara is a red Italian wine grape varietal grown in Lombardy. Italian “Uva Rara” means “rare grape” due to its rarity compared to other grape varieties.
Uva Rara is typically blended with other red grapes to provide richness and depth to wines. It can include red berry, flowery, and spice notes.
Uva Rara grapes can also be developed into varietal wines. These medium-bodied wines with mild tannins include red fruit, herb, and earthy characteristics.
Uva Rara is also known as Bonarda Novarese.
Uva Tosca grape
Uva Tosca is a red wine grape produced in Emilia-Romagna, east-central Italy. It contributes to local wine production in Forlì-Cesena.
This type of grape was one of the few red wine grapes that could regularly mature in the foothills of the Apennines.
Uvalino grape
Uvalino is a red wine grape produced in Piedmont, northwest Italy. It contributes to Piedmont wine production despite its lesser fame.
Due to its high antioxidant resveratrol content, Uvalino has garnered notice in recent years for its health advantages.
As we’re starting to learn, many grapes start with U!
Uvilla
Uvilla (Physalis peruviana) is a fruit-bearing shrub endemic to Chile and Peru. It’s also commonly referred to as “Peruvian groundcherry,” “Cape gooseberry,” or simply “golden berry.”
Uvilla looks like a yellowish-green miniature tomato inside a husk, similar to a paper lantern, which turns from green to a golden or orange hue when the fruit is fully ripe.
The fruit has a nice sweetness-acidity balance. It’s frequently juiced, jammed, jellied, baked, or eaten fresh.
This is my favourite fruit of all time. I love the sweet bite with just hint of a sour behind it. In Germany, where I live, they are called Physalis and are relatively popular. In English-speaking countries they have various names, including cape gooseberry.
