Nori Rolls

~Raw~Vegan~Gluten Free~

Nori has countless benefits. It is high in protein, high in minerals-including calcium, iron and magnesium, high in vitamin  and contains natural iodine for healthy thyroid function. Seaweed has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties making it a nutrient-dense addition to any diet especially due to the presence of polysaccharides- important in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as cardiovascular and diabetes type 2. Polysaccharides also work to improve liver function, stabilise blood sugar and increase feel-good chemicals in the brain.

Makes 4 

2 nori sheets
1 carrot, finely sliced or julienned
1/4-1/2 Avocado
1 zucchini, finely sliced or julienned
1 red capsicum, finely sliced
1 tomato, finely sliced
1 cucumber, finely sliced into strips
1/3 cup tahini
1/2 lemon, juiced

Combine tahini with lemon juice to form a thick and tangy paste.

Prepare vegetables as directed above

Lay first nori sheet out on a clean and dry surface

Spread nori with tahini paste and then follow with a slice or two of avocado

Add desired amounts of sliced vegetables, but be careful not to overfill as it will be difficult to roll

Once filled, roll the nori firmly but be careful not to do it too tightly as it will tear.

After rolling, wet your fingers and run them down the edge of your nori sheet, then stick the edge to the rest of the role.

Enjoy
