These better-than-takeout spring rolls are about to rock your world.

I guess I've been on a bit of a sweet potato kick recently - and why not, considering they're so delicious and filled with beneficial nutrients like beta carotene.

Like the sweet potato sandwich I shared last week, these spring rolls are another completely portable on-the-go lunch option for work or school.

(Warning, your co-workers are going to be super jealous.)

Unlike all of my other sweet potato recipes, these spring rolls don't require any cooking.

Have you ever eaten sweet potato raw? You have to give it a try.

These "noodles" are crunchy, sweet, colorful, and a great way to give yourself some added fiber and energy from healthy carbohydrates.

My best tip for the spring roll making novice: don't worry too much about how your first few spring rolls look.

Rolling can be a bit tricky at first. The rice paper is incredibly sticky, so don't let the rolls touch each other and know that you really only get one shot.

Don't let this deter you though, the process is so simple once you get into the groove.

It looks a little intimidating but really, making your own fresh spring rolls couldn't be much easier.

I think you'll agree that the delicious result made the entire process so totally worth it.
