Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Let it cool slightly.
Stir in the cream cheese, rice vinegar, and salt into the cauliflower rice until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
Prepare the vegetables by slicing the cucumber, avocado, and carrot into thin, long sticks, approximately 3-4 inches in length.
Place one nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of parchment paper.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over two-thirds of the nori sheet, leaving the top third uncovered to seal the roll later.
Arrange a few slices of cucumber, avocado, and carrot in a horizontal line across the middle of the cauliflower rice-covered area.
Using the sushi mat or parchment paper for support, carefully roll the nori sheet from the bottom edge, tucking the vegetables in as you roll. Press gently to seal the edges of the nori as you reach the uncovered portion.
Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and ingredients.
Using a very sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces, cleaning the knife after each cut to maintain clean edges.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce for dipping, or enjoy them as is for a keto-friendly, delicious snack or meal!
