+## Ingredients

+- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips
+- 1 tbsp olive oil
+- 1 tsp smoked paprika
+- 1/2 tsp cumin
+- 1/2 tsp coriander
+- Salt and pepper to taste
+- 1 cup sushi rice
+- 1 1/4 cups water

+## Instructions
+
+1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
+2. Toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes or until tender.
+3. While the sweet potatoes roast, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice and water to a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
+4. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.
+5. Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small margin at the top.
+6. Arrange a line of roasted sweet potato, avocado slices, cucumber, and carrot along the bottom of the rice-covered nori.
+7. Carefully roll the sushi using the mat, pressing gently to keep everything tight.
+8. Slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
+9. Serve the sushi rolls with optional garnishes like sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
+
