Vegetarian Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps with Teriyaki
Description
Get the Recipe Vegetarian Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps with Teriyaki highlight diced cauliflower roasted to tender crispness with olive oil and salt. Once tender, the florets are coated in a spicy teriyaki sauce that infuses a savory, slightly sweet dimension. The wraps use fresh butter lettuce leaves as a base, making a handheld portion that balances the warm cauliflower filling with a fresh and crisp bite. Optional toppings like chopped cashews, cilantro, chives, and avocado sauce can be added for texture and flavor variations depending on preference.
The roasting method crisps the edges of the cauliflower while preserving its bite, and coating it with teriyaki brings warmth and complexity. The butter lettuce serves as a fresh, cool contrast, making these wraps approachable and easy to assemble. They can be made vegan depending on the teriyaki sauce choice.
These wraps suit a vegetarian meal or snack and can be made ahead by roasting the cauliflower a day prior, then reheating and assembling when ready to serve. The recipe remains flexible for topping adjustments based on available ingredients or dietary needs.
Ingredients
- 8 cups cauliflower diced ~1/2 inch - approximately 2 small heads, florets
- 1-2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 /4 tsp salt fine sea salt
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce spicy
- 8 butter lettuce whole leaves
Optional Toppings:
- cashews chopped
- cilantro
- chives
- avocado sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread the diced cauliflower and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toss to completely coat. Roast for 26-30 minutes, tossing approximately halfway through.
- If needed, make the homemade teriyaki sauce while the cauliflower roasts.
- Once the cauliflower is fork-tender, pour the teriyaki sauce on top and toss to coat.
- Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing approximately 1/2 cup cauliflower inside each lettuce leaf and topping with desired garnishes (chopped cashews and cilantro are highly recommended!).
Notes
- Select a vegan teriyaki sauce or omit honey from homemade versions to keep the wraps vegan.
- The cauliflower filling can be roasted a day before to save time, then reheated and assembled fresh.
- Chopped cashews and fresh herbs like cilantro enhance the texture and provide additional flavor.
