Ingredients

  • Nori sheets - 4
  • Cauliflower rice - 1 cup
  • Carrot - 1 medium, grated
  • Cucumber - 1 small, julienned
  • Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
  • Sea salt - to taste
  • Black sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. Prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing cauliflower florets in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  2. In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat and add cauliflower rice, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  3. Add grated carrot, julienned cucumber, and a pinch of sea salt to the skillet, mixing well for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly before assembling the rolls.
  5. Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a flat surface.
  6. Spoon a portion of the cauliflower mixture onto the bottom third of the nori sheet, leaving a small border.
  7. Top the mixture with a few slices of avocado and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
  8. Carefully roll the nori away from you, tucking it tightly as you go to form a cylinder. Wet the edge of the nori with water to seal.
  9. Repeat the process for the remaining nori sheets and filling.
  10. Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife and serve with coconut aminos for dipping.
