Vegetarian Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps with Teriyaki
Cauliflower Lettuce Wraps feature roasted cauliflower florets tossed in spicy teriyaki sauce, served in crisp butter lettuce leaves. The roasting gives the cauliflower a tender yet slightly caramelized texture that pairs with the bold, slightly sweet and spicy teriyaki. Optional crunchy cashews and fresh herbs add layers of flavor and contrast. This recipe works well as a light vegetarian appetizer or lunch option with adaptable toppings and sauces.

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.
