Have you ever heard of a Godzilla roll? Don’t worry, this Godzilla doesn’t come from the ocean’s depths to terrorize your town. Godzilla roll is another name for a shrimp tempura sushi roll, but with an extra twist. After rolling up the sushi, Godzilla rolls are deep-fried in extra tempura for a warm and crispy meal. This Keto air fryer recipe applies its own spin on the fun sushi roll. You’ll start by making a traditional-style California roll made with lump crab, only this version doesn’t include any rice. After you slice your sushi into pieces, you’ll roll each one in a special breading made with Keto almond flour, Japanese Furikake seasoning, and Keto-friendly sesame seeds. Then, the sushi is cooked in your air fryer - no unhealthy oils or greasy food. The fried sushi roll makes a yummy meal on its own, or you can split each sushi roll in half and add a Keto side dish for a fuller plate. ### Options To Expand The Meal If you’re interested in adding more to your meal, there are many easy ways to do this. If you need to increase your fat macros, try adding a classic spicy mayo sauce that’s used in many sushi restaurants. Simply mix together mayonnaise and Sriracha to your preferred spice level. Top your Godzilla roll with the sauce or mix it into your crab mixture. Otherwise, head to the ‘side dish’ tab in the Carb Manager recipe search tool for other recommendations. ### What Is Furikake? Furikake is a Japanese seasoning that is used as a condiment or like table salt. You can add it on top of rice, cooked vegetables, or meats. Furikake typically consists of salt, roasted seaweed, and sesame seeds. Some brands also add maltodextrin to their seasoning blend. However, this is such an extremely small amount, it won’t affect your Ketosis. You’ll find this seasoning for purchase online or in your grocery store’s international aisle. Jessica L.

How to make Low Carb Air Fryer Godzilla Roll Dinner

Prepare the cucumber by using a vegetable peeler to peel full-length slices from a whole piece. For reference, 1 ounce of cucumber will be about 10 slices. Arrange the slices in single layers between paper towels, and press down on the paper towels to absorb excess water. When the cucumber slices no longer feel wet, weigh the slices to yield the amount listed in the ingredients. You may discard any remaining cucumber slices or use them for another recipe.
Lay a sheet of roasted seaweed (also called nori) on a clean, dry surface. Arrange the cucumber slices across the sheet of nori in a single layer. If necessary, you can cut the cucumber slices in half so you can arrange all the cucumber to fit within the sheet of nori. In a separate mixing bowl, combine lump crab and Sriracha. Mix the ingredients until the crab is coated in Sriracha. At your discretion, you may season the crab to your liking. Remember, however, that sushi is meant to taste fresh and simple.
Arrange the seasoned lump crab in a strip across the edge of nori nearest you. You can gently pack the crab down so it’s easier to roll the sushi later. Slice fresh avocado into thin slices and arrange them in a row alongside the crab. Next, cut cold cream cheese into thin strips and line up the strips end-to-end across the crab. If your cream cheese is warm, you won’t be able to have the clean cuts that are needed.
Begin rolling the sushi up, starting at the end with all the filling. You may use a knife or other utensil to help you lift the edge of the nori up and fold over the filling to begin the roll. You can use your hands or a sushi-making tool to roll the sushi up into a tight roll, rolling the seam underneath at the end. Make sure your hands are clean and dry or else the delicate nori may tear. Use a super-sharp knife to cut each sushi roll into 6 pieces.
Now, you can turn on your air fryer to preheat to 375 degrees. Create your fryer breading by combining almond flour, Furikake seasoning, and sesame seeds on a clean plate. For the sake of ensuring you coat your sushi properly, you may want to increase the amount of fry breading you make. Next, you need to wet your sushi so the breading sticks. The best way to do this is to fill a clean spraying device with water and gently mist the nori that’s wrapped around your sushi. If you don’t have these resources available, continue onto the next step.
Wet the sushi by briefly dipping the nori wrapped on the outside of each piece in cold water and immediately rolling it in your fryer breading. Allow a light coating of breading to stick all around the nori as well on each open side of the sushi. Arrange all the breaded sushi pieces on your air fryer tray. Cook the sushi for 5-10 minutes, starting with 5 minutes and building on time. To check for doneness, the breading will be a very light golden color and the edges of the sushi pieces will have a crispy texture. Serve warm.
