Directions:

2. Prepare Veggies: Julienne carrots and cucumber. Slice avocado and red bell pepper. Have sprouts ready.
3. Assemble Sushi Rolls: Place a sheet of nori seaweed on a bamboo sushi rolling mat (or a clean, flat surface).
4. Spread a thin, even layer of quinoa mixture over the nori sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge of the nori.
5. Arrange your desired fillings (carrots, cucumber, avocado, red bell pepper, sprouts) in a line across the center of the quinoa layer.
6. Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll up the nori sheet from the bottom edge, pressing firmly as you roll. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
7. Slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp, wet knife.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 with the remaining nori sheets, quinoa mixture, and fillings.
9. Serve rainbow veggie sushi rolls immediately with vegan mayonnaise, soy sauce (or tamari), pickled ginger, and wasabi, if desired.
