Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the Chioggia beets in aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt. Roast for 45-60 minutes until fork-tender. Cool, then peel and slice into strips.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Toss the beet strips until well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare short-grain white rice according to package instructions. Mix in sugar, a splash of rice vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Let it cool slightly.
- On a bamboo mat, lay a nori sheet shiny side down. Spread sushi rice across the lower two-thirds of the nori, add marinated beets, cucumber, and avocado.
- Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, then squeeze gently to secure. Set aside for slicing.
- Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with dipping sauces.

Notes
Use a sharp knife to cleanly slice the rolls. Keep hands wet while assembling to prevent stickiness. Store leftover sushi in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
