Ingredients You’ll Need

Most of these items are already sitting in your pantry. Use fresh, seasonal produce for the best possible crunch.

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes and drained
• 0.5 cup filtered water
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
• 4 large flour or corn tortillas
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 0.5 small red onion, thinly sliced

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly charred.
4. While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the dip by combining the drained cashews, filtered water, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast in a high-speed blender.
5. Blend the cashew mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, adjusting water for desired consistency.
6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side.
7. Assemble the wraps by layering spinach, sliced red onion, and roasted cauliflower onto each tortilla.
8. Drizzle with the cashew dip or serve the dip on the side for dipping.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve these wraps warm for the best experience. The creamy cashew dip melts slightly against the hot cauliflower. It is a texture explosion in every bite.

Pair these with a side of crispy sweet potato fries. A light cucumber salad also works beautifully. This is the ultimate spring meal for your family.

Storage & Reheating

Store the cauliflower and dip in separate containers. They will stay fresh for up to four days. This makes them perfect for meal prep lunches. Reheat the cauliflower in the oven to keep it crispy. Do not microwave the dip or it might thicken too much.

Tips for Best Results

• Soak your cashews in very hot water to ensure total creaminess.
• Don’t crowd the baking sheet or the cauliflower will steam, not roast.
• Cut cauliflower into uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
• Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest dip texture possible.
• Warm your tortillas right before serving to prevent cracking.
• Add a squeeze of extra lemon for a bright flavor pop.
• Double the dip recipe because you will want it tomorrow too.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap flour tortillas for corn to make this gluten-free.
• Add sliced avocado for extra healthy fats and creaminess.
• Throw in some pickled jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Use kale instead of spinach for a heartier green.

Common Questions

Can I use frozen cauliflower?

Yes, but thaw it completely and pat it dry first. Frozen cauliflower won’t get quite as crispy as fresh. Fresh is always best for this specific recipe.

Is the cashew dip spicy?

Not at all! It is tangy, savory, and very creamy. The Smoky Cauliflower Wraps have a deep flavor but zero heat. Add cayenne if you want a spicy version.

Stop settling for boring plant-based meals and make these tonight!— Jasmine
