Rice Paper Veggie Pancakes

January 6, 2026 Amanda Plott

Who says pancakes have to be sweet and sleepy? Meet Rice Paper Veggie Pancakes: crisp, light, wildly delicious, and filled with a colorful jumble of veggies. They’re the kind of snack that makes your lunchbox feel cheeky and your body quietly grateful. Gluten-free? Yes. Grain-free? Sometimes. Guilt-free? Absolutely. Delicious? Duh.

Why rice paper? Rice paper wrappers (the kind used for summer rolls) are thin, crisp up beautifully in a skillet, and provide a neutral canvas for bold fillings. Unlike batter-based pancakes, these are mostly veg with just a smidge of binder so the focus stays on texture — crunchy edges, tender centers, and an almost sneaky amount of satisfaction…

It’s comfort food with a grown-up twist, and it plays well with everything from toast to roast vegetables. Welcome to the simplest upgrade your pantry has seen all year…
