Quinoa Sushi Rolls

This non-traditional quinoa sushi appetizer has been a hit at numerous parties over the years.  I promise, if you show up with these, you’ll be the talk of the potluck.  No fancy tools needed, I show you in the video below how to make your own “sushi” rolls with quinoa and veggies.

Quinoa Sushi Rolls

Of course, quinoa is known as a super food with a crazy number of health benefits.  But, I love using it here because of the texture.  It adheres to itself so easily,  making is a good selection for a first-time sushi roller.

My favorite thing about this recipe is the variety it offers.  You can follow my filling directions, or riff on it and choose your own things to roll up.  Any variety of veggies, fruits, or lean proteins.  It’s a build-your own proposition!
