Keto Cauliflower Sushi

Keto Cauliflower Sushi is a delicious low-carb twist on traditional sushi, featuring cauliflower rice instead of grains for a healthy alternative. Packed with fresh vegetables and protein, it's a satisfying dish that fits perfectly into a ketogenic lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 1 medium head
• Rice vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Avocado - 1 ripe, sliced
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Carrot - 1 medium, julienned
• Cream cheese - 60 grams, softened
• Nori sheets - 4 sheets
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - for serving
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, and cut it into florets.
2. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains.
3. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
4. Stir in the rice vinegar and salt into the warm cauliflower rice. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
5. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface, shiny side down.
6. Spread a thin layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
7. In the center of the rice, place a line of sliced avocado, cucumber, and carrot, followed by a thin line of cream cheese.
8. Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
9. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
10. Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos.
