Egg White Cucumber Rolls

Since our OG Cucumber and Avocado Rolls went viral on TikTok and Instagram (thanks to all of your support and love), we decided to make a few cucumber roll versions, and this version is TOP TIER! Made with cucumber ribbons, avocado, egg whites and spicy mayo, these are the ultimate low-carb, high-protein snack.

What stands out

These egg white cucumber rolls are not only quick and straightforward to prepare, but they are incredibly versatile. This recipe is vegetarian-friendly, but you can practically make them with any toppings or fillings you like.

Make these for breakfast or enjoy them as a snack or light lunch – either way, they won’t disappoint.

Feel free to also transform these into a kid-friendly version by rolling up your child’s favourite meats, spreads and veggies and cutting the rolls into smaller bite-size pieces. Scroll down for some more variations and substitutions!

How to Prepare

Peel the top of the cucumber until it is even, and start to make strips with a Y-peeler or a potato peeler. Spread out the strips on a paper towel, as cucumbers have a lot of water content.

Arrange the cucumber strips in a row making sure they overlap each other slightly. Pat them down with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Now, you can add your favorite fillings. For this recipe, we added mashed avocado, cooked egg whites, and spicy mayo. Feel free to season your mashed avocado with some salt and pepper if needed.

Gently roll it up and cut into bite-size pieces. You can also secure it with toothpicks for ease and make cuts between each toothpick. Enjoy!

Kitchen tip

We used “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning on top, but it’s completely optional. You can also add texture by sprinkling some toasted sesame seeds, chopped nuts, or crispy fried onions on top.
