OK, sure, sushi burritos are all the rage now, but before those were invented, they already existed: sushi burritos are just larger, cylindrical versions of traditionally cone-shaped temaki (“hand rolls”). But the traditional shape is better for a party, and making them a bit smaller makes them into an amazing appetizer.<\/p>\n
It takes a fair amount of prep, but the results are so worth it. You can put whatever filling you want, but here we’ve opted to go with roasted acorn squash and cucumber: soft yet crunchy; salty yet sweet; and a hit of umami to round it out. Plus they’re just gorgeous on a plate, and dedicated carnivores won’t even notice that they’re vegan.<\/p>\n
