Units
Scale
- 2 nori sheets (full-size or snack-size)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and lightly mashed
- 1/4 cucumber, julienned
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup mixed greens or lettuce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
- Optional spread: 2 tbsp hummus, tahini-mayo, or spicy mayo
Instructions

- Lay a nori sheet on a flat surface. If using, spread hummus or sauce down the center.
- Layer chickpea mash, avocado, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and greens. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

Notes
- Use fresh nori sheets for best texture and sealing ability.
- Keep fillings centered and avoid overfilling to ensure clean rolling.
- Dampen the knife before slicing to avoid tearing the wrap.
