For the fillings

1 medium sweet potato (about 8 oz), peeled and cut into ½-inch sticks
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado oil or canola oil)
¼ tsp fine salt

Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¼ tsp fine salt

For assembly

4 sheets nori (dried seaweed)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

For serving

¼ cup tamari
2 tbsp pickled ginger
1 tsp wasabi paste (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato sticks with the oil and 1/4 tsp salt on a baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and lightly caramelized at the edges.
2
While the sweet potato roasts, make the pickled carrots. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until the sugar dissolves. Add the carrot matchsticks, toss to coat, and set aside to pickle for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
