Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Place cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until they resemble rice grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice into a large pan or a skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and has lost its raw flavor.
Once cooked, remove the cauliflower rice from heat and stir in coconut aminos and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to cool.
Peel the avocado and slice it into thin strips. Peel the cucumber and carrot, then julienne them into thin matchsticks.
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread about half a cup of the cauliflower rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border on the top edge.
Arrange slices of avocado, cucumber matchsticks, and carrot matchsticks along the bottom edge of the rice.
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori over the filling, pressing gently to secure, then continue rolling to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water if necessary.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the other rolls.
To make the spicy mayo, mix the Paleo mayonnaise with the Paleo-friendly Sriracha until well combined.
Slice the sushi rolls into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.
Sprinkle rolls with toasted sesame seeds and serve with a drizzle of spicy mayo and a side of pickled ginger.
