Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Medium sweet potatoes
- 1 piece Cucumber
- 1 piece Avocado
- 8 ounces Cooked crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha made with Whole30-compliant ingredients
- 4 pieces Nori sheets
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar (compliant, without added sugar)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Pulse them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency.
Spread the sweet potato ‘rice’ evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until softened but not mushy. Let cool completely.
Meanwhile, slice the cucumber into thin julienne strips and cut the avocado into thin slices. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the crab meat with Whole30-compliant mayonnaise and Sriracha. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
Once the sweet potato ‘rice’ is cool, add the rice vinegar and sesame seeds. Mix gently to combine.
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a sushi mat or a piece of parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of the sweet potato mixture across the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge.
Arrange cucumber, avocado, and a portion of the crab mixture horizontally across the center of the nori sheet.
Using the sushi mat or parchment paper, carefully roll the nori sheet tightly into a cylinder, sealing the edge with a little water if needed.
Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
