1. Lay a sushi rolling mat on a clean work surface. Place a piece of plastic wrap on top.
2. Lay the nori sheet down on top of the plastic sheet, shiny side down, with the longest edge facing you.
3. Get your fingertips wet, and spoon sushi rice onto nori and spread into a thin, even layer, avoiding the very edges of the nori.
4. Add avocado pieces, sweet potato, cucumber and carrots to the bottom third of the nori sheet nearest you.
