Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- Cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt into the rice and let it cool.
Roast Eggplant
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the eggplant strips with olive oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Assemble Sushi Rolls
- Place a sheet of nori on the sushi mat. Spread a layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border. Add roasted eggplant, carrot, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the rice.
- Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
Slice and Serve
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.

Notes
For added flavor, you can marinate the eggplant in the soy sauce and sesame oil for 30 minutes before roasting.
