Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 small Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until tender.

Step 3

After microwaving, let the cauliflower rice cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt. Mix until well combined to create a 'sticky' rice texture.

Step 5

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat. Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture onto the nori, leaving about 1 inch of the top edge uncovered.

Step 6

Sprinkle a layer of black sesame seeds over the cauliflower rice.

Step 7

Arrange a line of cucumber, carrot, and avocado slices across the middle of the rice-covered nori sheet.

Step 8

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling. Roll tightly to ensure the roll holds together well.

Step 9

Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 11

Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce or tamari for dipping. Enjoy your low-carb black sesame seed sushi rolls!
