Raw Beautiful Beet Vegetable Rolls
I shared them with Eric, because he keeps my beet habit going, and I like to keep him happy and well fed with raw food. He loved them as well. If you are looking for a simple light dinner, or even a lunch to bring along to work these are perfect!
Raw Beautiful Beet Vegetable Rolls
Serves 4
Raw beet "hummus":
1 cup raw beets
1/4 cup raw walnut or almond butter
1/3 cup shelled hempseeds
1 garlic clove
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
sea salt
1 cup carrot, cut julienne
1 cup red beet, cut julienne
spinach leaves
1/2 cup sliced scallions
4 sheets untoasted nori
For the hummus, combine all ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
To assemble the sushi, lay out a sheet of nori, and spread about 2-3 Tbsp along the top of the sheet in a line. Lay some of the julienned carrot, then the beet and spinach over that, then sprinkle with a few scallions. Roll up, from the top down, then moisten the bottom edge of the nori so it sticks. Repeat with the other nori sheets. Slice them into 2 inch rounds and serve!

I am not a lover of beetroot, but I know how good they are for you, so this beet hummus looks like it might take the edge off the beet taste and make them palatable. I'm sure a little garlic in there would be good too. I'm not a fan of beetroot, but I LOVE garlic. :)
I prefer them raw to cooked ;). You should try it, these are so good! If you don't like it with the beets, you can sub something like carrots ;)!
I made a version of this tonight. It was really good, and so original! Great recipe, Amy. :)
Awesome! I am so happy you enjoyed them, and thank you for letting me know :)!
Amy, these beet vegetable rolls are gorgeous! If I didn't know any better I'd say you were a sushi chef. The flavor combinations backed by the color have me thinking I'd really enjoy them.
Thanks Brooks :)! I think you would enjoy them too!
okay, tried and tested...amazing! you'd think the beetroot would be too overpowering but it's a perfect balance of flavours. DELICIOUS
Of course they are not :)! So happy you enjoyed them and thank you for letting me know!
