Print Recipe

These fresh and colorful veggie sushi rolls are a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make option perfect for lunch, dinner, or a light snack. Served with soy sauce, they are a vegetarian-friendly take on a classic Japanese favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, julienned
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Let sit covered for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold into the cooked rice. Allow rice to cool to room temperature.
  3. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
  4. Spread an even layer of cooled rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  5. Arrange cucumber, carrot, avocado, and bell pepper in a line across the center of the rice.
  6. Use the mat to roll the sushi tightly away from you, pressing gently as you go.
  7. Seal the edge with a little water. Slice the roll into 6–8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife.
  8. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with soy sauce.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife dipped in water to cut the rolls cleanly.
  • You can add other vegetables like lettuce, sprouts, or pickled radish for variety.
  • Sushi rice can be prepared ahead of time and stored at room temperature.
