👩🍳 How to Make Zucchini Sushi Bites
1. Slice the Zucchini
- Use a mandoline slicer or vegetable peeler to create long, thin zucchini ribbons.
- Pat dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.
2. Fill the Rolls
- Lay a zucchini strip flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado across the center.
- Add a few matchsticks of cucumber and carrot.
3. Roll It Up
- Carefully roll the zucchini strip tightly from one end to the other.
- Secure with a toothpick if needed (especially for lunchboxes or parties).
- Repeat until you’ve used all your fillings.
4. Garnish & Serve
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds for crunch and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately with coconut aminos or soy sauce for dipping.
🌿 Pro Tip: Want a little kick? Add a dash of wasabi to the avocado or a drizzle of sriracha before rolling.
