Ingredients

• 1 large Cauliflower head
• 1 medium, julienned Carrot
• 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, sliced Avocado
• 1 small, julienned Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 large Nori sheets
• 2 teaspoons, for garnish Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons, for dipping Coconut aminos or soy sauce

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into florets and process them in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the riced cauliflower with lime juice, turmeric, cumin, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat and infuse the cauliflower rice with Indian-inspired flavors.

Step 3

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or flat surface.

Step 4

Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned cauliflower rice on the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge of the sheet.

Step 5

Layer the julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice.

Step 6

Using the bamboo mat (or your hands if you don’t have one), tightly roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing gently but firmly to form a compact roll. Dampen the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 sushi pieces. Clean the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi and serve with coconut aminos or soy sauce on the side for dipping.
