Directions

Step 1

Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

Step 2

Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Step 3

Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes until tender.

Step 6

Slice the avocado, cucumber, and carrot into thin strips.

Step 7

Place a nori seaweed sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side down.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving a 1-inch border along the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber, and carrot in a line along the bottom edge of the rice.

Step 10

Carefully roll the nori and fillings using the sushi mat, applying gentle pressure to keep the roll tight.

Step 11

Moisten the top border of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.

Step 12

Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make three more rolls.

Step 13

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into six even pieces.

Step 14

Sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of each sushi piece.

Step 15

Serve the sushi rolls with tamari sauce and wasabi paste on the side.
