If you’re looking for a quick snack these sun-dried tomato & vegan cream cheese rolls do the trick. These rolls take about 15 minutes to put together and are jam packed with flavour. Definitely a recipe for those in need for something quick and delicious. These vegan cream cheese rolls are added to my party snack list.
Use your favourite vegan cream cheese to create these. The base recipe is very simple and filled with umami from the sun-dried tomatoes, tomato puree and nutritional yeast. Speaking of umami, if you love a dish that packs a punch you should try these miso roasted carrots.
Assembling the vegan cream cheese rolls
When it comes to assembling the rolls you can keep it simple or tweak it to your own liking. Pictured above I added some cucumber, roasted carrot and fresh bell pepper for some extra texture and nutrients. To add some extra colour and nutrients I decided to use these seaweed tortillas. Of course you could use whatever kind of tortilla you like.
Some other ways to tweak these vegan cream cheese rolls are to make them more spicy by adding more heat. You could also add more veggies, like spinach, cilantro or arugula. The options are endless and depend on your own liking. Feel free to have some fun with it!
I used some of the leftover rolls as a quick lunch in this colourful bento box. The bento also has leftover curry, an Igglybuff rice ball and purple cauliflower. I love vibrant bento boxes like these, I’ll soon make a post highlighting some of my favourites. Also be sure to check this comforting peanut & spinach stew for more comfort food.
