Edible Flower Spring Rolls
I love making spring rolls! It’s pretty standard filling for the most part: shrimp, cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, avocados, mint, and basil. The flowers are nasturtiums, purple basil and amaranth leaves.

Ingredients
Spring Roll Recipe
- 1 pack of rice paper wraps
- 1 box of brown rice noodles
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 carrot
- 2-3 small cucumbers
- 1-2 cups of fresh mint
- 1-2 cups of fresh basil
- sesame seeds to sprinkle on top
- 20-30 edible flower tops
Sunflower Sesame Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1/3 cup of olive oil
- 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of tamari
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of ginger root powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of red chili flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
- juice from 1-2 limes
Instructions
- Boil water to make your rice noodles, follow the instructions given on the box.
- Wash & chop your vegetables into thin slices. I like to get them as thin as possible but this is up to your preference.
- In a shallow but wide bowl, pour in warm water this will be how you prepare your rice paper wraps!
- Now dip the rice paper wraps into the water and hold for about 10-20 seconds, the paper will feel tender now.
- On a plate set down the rice paper wrap and place your edible flowers facing down in a row.
- Now place the noodles on top, and layer with your chopped vegetables & herbs.
- When you are ready to roll start with the side closest to you. First, you tuck the veggies under with the rice paper wrap (think burrito-style here) then fold the left side in, the right, and roll to connect the sticky rice paper wrap together!
- Repeat until all of your spring rolls are complete!
- Second make the Sunflower Sesame Dipping Sauce, by measuring & layering all of the ingredients into the jar and mix well with a fork!
- Enjoy!
Notes
- When making the sun butter dipping sauce, feel free to switch out the sun butter for almond butter if that is what you have on hand.
- How to store, you can enjoy these right away, or place them in a glass container layering them with something leafy (think butter lettuce or spinach) to prevent the rolls from sticking together!
