Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toss squash and tomatoes with oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.

  2. Step 2

    Roast at 425°F until squash is golden and tomatoes soften, about 12 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze half the lemon over the roasted vegetables and stir to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Wet your hands lightly with water. Place 1/4 cup rice in your palm, add a spoonful of roasted filling in the center, then add another 1/4 cup rice on top.

  5. Step 5

    Gently squeeze and shape into a ball (or triangle), then wrap a nori strip around the middle.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
