Ingredients & Substitutions
Feel free to switch up the veggies based on what you have. Zucchini, radishes, or even sprouts would work beautifully! If you want a bit of heat, you can add some sliced jalapeños inside the roll too.
Tips & Notes
- •If you like a bit of crunch, try adding some sesame seeds to the filling.
- •I keep my sushi rolls tightly wrapped in a damp paper towel if I’m transporting them; it helps keep them fresh.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a smear of vegan cream cheese for extra creaminess.
- •You can also swap the cauliflower rice with quinoa for a different texture.
Storage & Freezing
Store leftover sushi in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Just be aware that the nori may get a bit soft, but it’ll still taste great!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, but I recommend making it no more than a few hours ahead to keep the nori crispy. Store the rolls in an airtight container in the fridge.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by making the cauliflower rice. Simply pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice. You can also grate it using a box grater.
- 2
Lay a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface.
- 3
Spread about 1/2 cup of cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge free.
- 4
Layer your veggies—carrots, cucumber, avocado, bell pepper, and cilantro—across the center of the rice.
- 5
Using the mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep everything tight.
- 6
Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the sushi into bite-sized pieces. I like to wet the knife with water to prevent sticking.
- 7
For the zesty dip, mix lime juice and grated ginger in a small bowl. Add a splash of tamari or soy sauce for extra flavor.
- 8
Serve your sushi with the ginger-lime dip on the side and enjoy!
