Ingredients

• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar (compliant, optional)
• 1 cup Cooked lump crab meat
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 4 Nori sheets
• 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender and moisture has evaporated. If desired, add rice vinegar for a tangy, sushi rice-like flavor. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the cauliflower rice cools, prepare the spicy mayo by whisking together the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil (if using), and lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to your spice preference. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the cucumber into matchsticks. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice it thinly.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel. Place a thin, even layer of the cooled cauliflower rice over 3/4 of the nori sheet, leaving the top edge free for sealing.

Step 5

Arrange a small amount of crab meat, cucumber sticks, and avocado slices horizontally across the center of the cauliflower rice layer.

Step 6

Using the sushi mat or towel, carefully roll the nori tightly over the filling, pressing gently to shape it into a log. Use a tiny bit of water to seal the edge of the nori once rolled.

Step 7

Repeat steps 4-6 for the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Clean the knife blade between cuts for cleaner slices.

Step 9

Drizzle or serve the spicy mayo alongside the crab rolls. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spicy Crab Roll!
