Scale

- 2 tablespoons cream cheese or hummus
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Lay one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a piece of plastic wrap.
- Spread half of the cooled sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese or hummus in a thin line across the center of the rice.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded carrots and diced cucumber over the cream cheese/hummus.
- Carefully roll the nori tightly from the bottom, using the mat or plastic wrap to help create a firm roll.
- Moisten the top border of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
- Repeat with the second nori sheet and remaining ingredients.
- Slice each roll into 6-8 bite-sized pieces.
- Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes
- For picky eaters, you can try different vegetable combinations like finely chopped bell peppers or avocado.
- If your child doesn’t like nori, you can make deconstructed sushi bowls with the ingredients.
- These rolls are best eaten fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
