Ingredients

• 1 large avocado
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 medium carrot
• 5 sheets nori sheets
• 0.5 medium lime
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel the cucumber, then cut it into thin, long strips. Do the same with the carrot, peeling first and then cutting into thin julienne strips.

Step 2

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth. Add the pink Himalayan salt to the mashed avocado and mix well.

Step 3

Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a dry cutting board or rolling mat.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado mixture over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top uncovered so that it can seal the roll.

Step 5

Lay a few strips of cucumber and carrot in a horizontal line about 1 inch from the bottom edge of the sheet.

Step 6

Sprinkle a few fresh cilantro leaves over the vegetables for added flavor.

Step 7

Begin rolling the nori from the bottom, using your fingers to keep the vegetables in place, and tightly roll towards the top edge. Slightly dampen the top edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 9

With a sharp knife, gently slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp towel between cuts.

Step 10

Arrange sushi pieces on a serving platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top.

Step 11

Serve with coconut aminos on the side for dipping. Enjoy your homemade Paleo Avocado Sushi!
