Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 5 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 large Carrot
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Spinach
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice: Remove the leaves and core from cauliflower head. Cut into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine and rice-like.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and salt, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Meanwhile, julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into long, thin strips. Halve and slice the avocado into thin strips as well.

Step 4

In a small pan, lightly steam the spinach with a sprinkle of water until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Whisk eggs in a small bowl. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, pour eggs and cook until set, flipping once to make a thin omelet. Let it cool slightly, then slice into long strips.

Step 6

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch clear at the top edge.

Step 7

In the center of the rice spread, place a few strips of carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, egg slices, and steamed spinach.

Step 8

Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, squeezing gently to form a tight cylinder. Seal the roll by moistening the top edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Step 9

Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.

Step 10

Brush each roll with a small amount of sesame oil and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.

Step 11

To serve, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into inch-thick pieces. Enjoy your Paleo Gimbap as a healthy snack or appetizer!
