Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato cut into 2-ish inch strips
⅔ cups plant-based milk
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 avocado cut into strips
4 nori sheets
2 cups cooked sushi rice*
Sesame seeds and soy sauce for servings

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the plant milk and flaxseed meal. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
⅔ cups plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
⅓ cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt
Dip each sweet potato strip into the milk mixture and then lightly toss it in the cornstarch mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all of the potato is on the baking sheet.
1 medium sweet potato
Spray the top of the sweet potato strips with cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes. Flip, spray again, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Assemble the sushi by spreading ½ cup of the cooked sushi rice on your nori sheet, leaving about half an inch clear at the top. Top with 4 strips of the sweet potato (or more depending on how thinly you sliced them) and some of the avocado. You want to divide the sweet potato and avocado evenly between 4 rolls so keep that in mind. Roll it up tightly, adding a little bit of water to the edge as needed to seal the nori.
1 avocado, 4 nori sheets, 2 cups cooked sushi rice*, Sesame seeds and soy sauce for servings
Slice and ENJOY with sesame seeds, soy sauce, and your other favorite sushi toppings!

Notes

*I love using THIS recipe for my sushi rice. It makes about twice as much as you need for this recipe, so you could cut it in half, but I always love having the leftover rice.
