Keto Sushi

Keto Sushi is a delightful twist on traditional sushi, featuring fresh vegetables and protein wrapped in crispy nori and cauliflower rice, making it a perfect low-carb brunch dish. This vibrant and flavorful meal is not only satisfying but also provides a healthy alternative to regular sushi rolls.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Nori sheets - 4 sheets
• Cream cheese - 100 grams
• Cucumber - 1 medium, julienned
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Smoked salmon - 100 grams
• Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - for serving
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor until it resembles rice.
3. Spread the grated cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes to dry it out.
4. Once baked, let the cauliflower cool slightly, then mix it with rice vinegar and salt to taste.
5. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface, shiny side down.
6. Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge.
7. In the center of the rice, place a line of cream cheese, followed by cucumber, avocado, and smoked salmon.
8. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the filling, then carefully roll the sushi away from you, using the mat to help keep the roll tight.
9. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water, then repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
10. Slice the sushi rolls into bite-sized pieces and serve with soy sauce or coconut aminos.
