Sweetpotato Sushi Cups

Recipe created by Roxana Ehsani, M.S., RD, CSSD, LDN
I’ve partnered with the North Carlina Sweetpotato Commission to create Sweetpotato Salmon Sushi Cups with Spicy Mayo!
Sweetpotatoes are a nutrient-dense food and taste delicious in sushi! One medium sweetpotato contains 100 calories and 4 g of fiber and an excellent source of vitamin A, fiber and potassium.
