Savory Raw Vegetable Sushi - Vegan recipe hero image

There’s something truly special about rolling your own sushi.

I remember the first time I tried making it at home; it felt like an art project I could eat!

This savory raw vegetable sushi is one of my go-to recipes because it’s versatile, colorful, and super easy to whip up.

Plus, it’s a wonderful way to showcase seasonal veggies and let them shine in their raw form.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

Feel free to mix and match the veggies based on what you have on hand. If you want to add a bit of protein, consider including some marinated tofu or sprouts. The nori sheets can sometimes be tricky to find, but health food stores usually stock them, and they add such a wonderful umami flavor.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my sushi rolls wrapped in a damp cloth until I'm ready to serve them; it helps keep everything fresh.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for an extra burst of flavor.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll swap out the cauliflower rice for quinoa for a different texture.
  • If I want a spicy kick, I’ll add a thin slice of jalapeño in the mix.

Storage & Freezing

These sushi rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just remember they might lose a bit of crunch!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in advance?

I recommend enjoying them fresh, but you can prep the veggies a few hours ahead. Just keep everything wrapped up tight to prevent browning.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by preparing your cauliflower rice. If you haven't done this yet, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

  2. 2

    Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean kitchen towel if you don't have one).

  3. 3

    Spread about 1/4 cup of cauliflower rice evenly across the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge for sealing.

  4. 4

    Layer on the julienned carrots, cucumber, sliced avocado, bell pepper, and a handful of spinach.

  5. 5

    Now comes the fun part! Starting from the bottom, carefully roll the sushi away from you, keeping the filling tight as you go.

  6. 6

    Once you reach the top edge of the nori, wet it with a bit of water to help it seal.

  7. 7

    Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep the edges clean.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce or tamari, and pickled ginger if you like.
