This non-traditional quinoa sushi appetizer has been a hit at numerous parties over the years. Â I promise, if you show up with these, you’ll be the talk of the potluck. Â 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. Â But, I love using it here because of the texture. Â It adheres to itself so easily, Â making is a good selection for a first-time sushi roller.
My favorite thing about this recipe is the variety it offers. Â You can follow my filling directions, or riff on it and choose your own things to roll up. Â Any variety of veggies, fruits, or lean proteins. Â It’s a build-your own proposition!
