Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 5 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 large Avocado
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the medium head of cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains.

Step 2

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large skillet over medium heat. Add 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper into long, thin strips.

Step 4

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces. Drizzle the avocado slices with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 5

Lay down a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and place a nori sheet on top, shiny side down.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered at the top edge for sealing.

Step 7

Arrange a few slices of each vegetable (cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper) and avocado, along with 2 fresh basil leaves, in a horizontal line across the rice-covered nori.

Step 8

Begin rolling the nori away from you, using the bamboo mat to guide and shape the roll, ensuring it's tight and compact. Lightly moisten the uncovered edge of the nori with water to help seal the roll.

Step 9

Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.

Step 10

With a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 11

Serve with coconut aminos on the side for dipping. Enjoy your fresh Paleo Rainbow Roll!
