Ingredients

Scale

For the cauliflower:

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Korean BBQ sauce:

  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • 2 tablespoons water (to thin, if needed)

For assembly:

  • 8–10 large butter lettuce or romaine leaves

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber

  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

  • Optional: cooked rice or rice noodles for a more filling wrap

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

  3. While cauliflower roasts, whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  4. Once cauliflower is roasted, toss it in the warm Korean BBQ sauce until fully coated.

  5. Assemble wraps by placing a spoonful of cauliflower into each lettuce leaf. Top with carrots, cucumber, green onions, and sesame seeds.

  6. Serve warm, optionally with rice or noodles tucked in.

 

Notes

  • Gochujang varies in spice level — adjust to your taste.

  • Add tofu or tempeh for extra protein.

  • You can prep the sauce and toppings ahead for easy weeknight assembly.

  • Leftover cauliflower is great over rice bowls or salads!
