Perfectly roasted sweet potatoes are the filling of these amazing wraps which have a dilly mayo sauce. Paired with spinach and pickled red onion, this sweet potato wrap recipe is a super delicious and a healthy lunch! Instructions for both air fryer sweet potatoes and oven roasted sweet potatoes are included.
We’re always on the hunt for something filling, healthy and easy for lunch and it’s easy to get sick of salads. This wrap is the perfect alternative!
We love it most when there are various cooking methods for any one recipe – that way you can choose which is best for you based on what appliances you do/don’t have!
If you plan to roast the sweet potatoes in the oven, plan for about 35 minutes, but if you’re using an air fryer, you can have them done in about 15 minutes!
How do you ensure all of your potatoes cook the same?
- All of you have to do is simply cut the sweet potatoes in uniform pieces.
What do you put in a sweet potato wrap?
- Seasoned, roasted sweet potatoes
- Dilly mayonnaise
- Spinach
- Picked red onions or vegetables (optional)
- You could use quick pickled onions (like this recipe) or quick pickled vegetables
If you’d prefer to make these into burritos, that would be delicious too! Just pick a tortilla instead of a wrap.
And the secret ingredient to this sweet potato wrap is what we add on top at the end. We used Trader Joe’s chili lime salt but you could use Tajin – if you don’t have any of those you could mix together paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.

We love these. I’ve also been adding chicken and other veggies (onion, bell pepper). I don’t own an air fryer, so I do them in the oven in a sheet pan covered with foil.
My go to easy lunch for the family is BLT sandwiches,or our homemade canned tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Linda Bick says
We’ve been enjoying fresh fruit for lunch all summer!
Sweetphi says
Yum, nothing better than fresh fruit in the summer
Denise L says
I love using leftovers in my salads. I start with lettuce,kale or spinach, add leftover chicken or whatever protein is around. Then add grilled or fresh veggies, a little cheese or canned cannelini or chick peas. Then drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. It is quick and easy and I use up leftovers that are cluttering my fridge.
Sweetphi says
I love that – such a great idea for using leftovers, I definitely need to do more of that!
Susan Broughton says
My go to lunch is tuna salad, I can eat it on bread, crackers, wraps etc. Easy and tasty!
Sweetphi says
Yum! I’ve recently started loving canned salmon. I use it the same way (bread, crackers, wraps) but my new favorite is to make a rice bowl with 90 second rice, the canned salmon, 1/2 an avocado and some seaweed snacks (nori) – tastes just like sushi!
Monica M says
My go to lunch is Smoked Salmon and a tossed salad. It is quick and easy on a busy day. I try to make easy breakfasts, and lunches – and put my time and effort into making a healthy (usually more time consuming) dinner.
Your wrap looks yummy – will try this using a GF wrap 🙂
Sweetphi says
I love the sound of your go-to lunch, I had never thought of smoked salmon for lunch, genius! And I think you’ll love this wrap, it’s super yummy!
Amy Cooley says
My favorite lunch is either an avocado toast made with cream cheese, crushed red pepper and a drizzle of olive oil or a quick protein smoothie with berries and spinach.
Sweetphi says
Oh yum, these sound like delicious healthy lunches. I have never had cream cheese on my avocado toast, going to have to try that!
Mary W says
My go to lunch is usually fresh lettuce – often from my hydroponic floating bed – leftover veggies or fresh from the garden, a big scoop of cottage cheese topped with Manitoba Hemp Hearts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. I like to use homemade dressings like balsamic and oil.
Sweetphi says
Oh yum, your lunch sounds super delicious and healthy – love that you have a hydroponic floating bed, how neat!
Kelly Heslip says
I always have items on hand to make a quick salad. The Tyson Blackened Chicken strips or Black Pepper & Herb strips heat up easily. Then I toss spinach and kale in a bowl, top with chicken, a few cut up strawberries and grape tomatoes, some sunflower seeds, and a salad topping of chopped nuts and dried cranberries. It is really filling!
Sweetphi says
Oh that sounds delicious and healthy. I’m going to have to look for those chicken strips, I’m always on the lookout.
Kristy says
My favorite lunch is leftovers. 🙂 But if I don’t have any on hand, I’ll often make a quick salad: baby spinach + goat cheese + beets (from a jar) + balsamic dressing.
Sweetphi says
I love that you love leftovers! I’m so weird with them and wish I wasn’t! I also love the sound of your go-to salad. I recently discovered beets in a balsamic solution from Trader joes, and they’re so good!
Susan Craig says
This recipe looks delicious. I have some farmer’s market sweet potatoes that will be great this way. My favorite easy lunch is to have roasted veggies on hand. They make a quick bowl, wrap or even a salad topper.
Sweetphi says
I think you’ll love these wraps. I love that you like to have roasted veggies on hand, so smart!!
