Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 4 sheets Nori Sheets
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Allow it to cool slightly.
Mix the cooled cauliflower rice with rice vinegar and salt. Stir well until combined.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
Peel the cucumber and cut it into julienne strips, about the same length as the avocado slices.
Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface.
Spread a thin layer of the cauliflower rice mixture over the nori sheet, leaving a small border on the top edge.
Align avocado and cucumber strips horizontally across the middle of the cauliflower rice layer.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori over the fillings, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll.
Seal the edges with a little water on your fingers, and press to secure the roll.
Repeat the process with remaining ingredients and nori sheets.
Using a sharp knife, slice each roll into 6-8 pieces, wetting the blade with water between cuts to prevent sticking.
Serve the Paleo Avocado Maki with coconut aminos on the side for dipping.
