"These beautiful rolls enclose a filling of vegan ricotta and roasted broccoli and cauliflower with colorful ribbons of winter veggies. We suggest using carrots, the broccoli stalk and cauliflower core for wrapping, but you can substitute strips of butternut squash, zucchini and even parsnips. The rolls reheat nicely in the microwave or in a low oven...."
