Ingredients

• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 large Avocado
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until rice-sized grains form. Skip this step if using pre-packaged cauliflower rice.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is softened.

Step 3

Remove from heat and mix in the rice vinegar and salt. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool completely.

Step 4

While the rice cools, prepare other ingredients. Halve the avocado, remove the seed, and slice it thinly. Cut the cucumber into thin strips.

Step 5

Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your fingers to prevent sticking, then spread an even layer of cauliflower rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese in a line along the edge closest to you.

Step 7

Layer the avocado slices and cucumber strips over the cream cheese, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 8

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori sheet away from you, tucking in the filling as you go. Press firmly to seal the maki roll.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to create additional rolls.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Serve the Keto Avocado Maki with soy sauce, wasabi paste, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.
