Deconstructed Veggie Roll Sushi Bowls - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

Deconstructed Veggie Roll Sushi Bowls (5).jpg

I’m pretty excited to share this one cuz, day-YUM, it was so good!

So in my house it’s really easy to make everyone happy with bowl-style meals. You can get really creative and versatile with all of the ingredients and it keeps really easy too.

For me, I especially love rice bowls. Actually, I really just love any kind of grain based bowls. In fact, I realized recently that I rarely eat bread, or any form of wheat for that matter. It’s not because of a gluten allergy or anything, I just always prefer other forms of carbs. Like sweet potatoes!

When I’m traveling I love getting sushi whenever I can. This last trip I found a place that served sweet potato sushi and it pretty much blew my mind. So simple, but so good! For some reason though, when I get home sushi isn’t something I think to make very often. Mostly because it just seems like a hassle to slice the veggies thinly and roll it all up. That’s why I came up with this deconstructed sushi roll in a bowl.

The base is just simply sushi rice, baked sweet potatoes coated in an easy miso almond butter sauce, and I added some black beans. You can use edamame instead though. As for the toppings, anything goes. The usual sushi suspects are great, but don’t be afraid to get even more creative and add whatever you want.

For mine I added some thinly sliced strips of nori seaweed (like you’d wrap sushi with), some bean sprouts, bell peppers, mango, radishes, and avocado. Oh, and since I don’t really like cucumbers myself, I replaced it with zucchini, but you can of course use cucumbers. See, that’s the great thing about these bowls is that they are super versatile.

Ok, and the last great thing about this recipe is that it’s one of the easiest meals to prep ahead because it’s served cold. Although, I’ve eaten it warm too and it’s also delicious that way. Obviously the running theme here is that you can make it your own.

I really hope you try it and if you do I’d love to know what you think.

Wow I've never heard of sweet potato sushi. I'm sure the ginger you add to the sauce makes it spicey, I love when sauces taste like that! This seriously looks like something a chef would make.

Nice instructions. You heat up the sushi to 400 degrees in the oven. Isn't the whole point of sushi to be raw?! lol.

Nonetheless, great photography. You should seriously package these and sell them on Shark Tank or something!
