Miss the rice? Make a sushi bowl instead!

Zucchini Sushi

DIRECTIONS

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, slice each zucchini into thin flat strips. Place zucchini on paper towel-lined plate to sit while you prep the rest of your ingredients.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Sriracha, and lime juice.
  3. On a cutting board, lay zucchini slices down horizontally (so that the long side is facing you). Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on top, then top the left side with a pinch each of crab, carrots, avocado, and cucumbers.
  4. Starting from the left side, tightly roll each zucchini slice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
