Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 1 medium, sliced Avocado
• 1 small, julienned Cucumber
• 1 medium, julienned Carrot
• 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Bell pepper
• 2 stalks, chopped Green onion
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Avoid over-processing to keep the texture intact.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.

Step 3

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened. Mix in the coconut aminos for flavor and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean cutting board.

Step 5

Spread a thin, even layer of cooled cauliflower rice over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.

Step 6

Arrange sliced avocado, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, green onion, and cilantro horizontally across the center of the rice layer.

Step 7

Carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, using your fingers to gently press and tighten as you roll. Seal the top edge with a small amount of water to secure the roll.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings until all ingredients are used.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with additional coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
