Keto Sushi Rolls Recipe with Low-Carb Cauliflower Rice

We actually think these Keto Sushi Rolls are better than the high-carb version. It has a similar consistency but stays low-carb.

Our recipe provides 2 flavor options below, if you would like to make both flavors you will need to double the cauliflower rice recipe.

It is very important to purchase high-quality, super-fresh fish when eating raw sushi. If you cannot find sushi or sashimi-grade salmon, I suggest you stick to cooked fillings such as canned tuna, chicken, shrimp, or veggie rolls.

No, traditional sushi is not keto-friendly. The rice in sushi is too high in carbohydrates for a keto diet.

We also use tamari for dipping instead of traditional soy sauce, which is low in carbohydrates.
