Roast the Cauliflower: Roast the cauliflower in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the florets are crispy and golden brown.

Step 4

Assemble the Wraps: Once the cauliflower is roasted, spoon the spicy cauliflower into the center of each lettuce leaf.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the wraps immediately and enjoy the crunchy, spicy goodness!

Pro Tips for Perfect Buffalo Cauliflower Wraps

Crispy Cauliflower: Make sure to cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and spread them out on the baking sheet to ensure they cook evenly and get crispy.
Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder flavor, use less buffalo sauce or opt for a mild version of buffalo sauce.
Keep it Fresh: Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the lettuce crisp. If you’re prepping ahead, store the cauliflower and dressing separately.
Make it Spicy or Mild: Add extra chili powder or cayenne for more heat, or reduce the buffalo sauce for a milder taste.

FAQs

Can I make the buffalo cauliflower ahead of time? Yes! You can roast the cauliflower ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven for a few minutes before tossing with the buffalo sauce and assembling the wraps.
Can I use frozen cauliflower? Fresh cauliflower will yield the best results, but you can use frozen cauliflower if that’s what you have on hand. Just make sure to thaw and dry it before roasting.
Can I make this dish vegan? Absolutely! Just use a dairy-free buffalo sauce and skip the ranch or blue cheese dressing to make this recipe completely vegan.
What else can I serve with these wraps? Serve these wraps with a side of sliced veggies, sweet potato fries, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Creative Variations

Buffalo Cauliflower Bowls: Skip the lettuce wraps and serve the buffalo cauliflower over a bed of rice or quinoa for a more substantial meal.
Add Some Crunch: Top the wraps with shredded carrots, cabbage, or chopped pickles for extra texture.
Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos: Use soft corn or flour tortillas instead of lettuce for a different take on the dish.
Make It Spicy: If you like extra heat, drizzle the wraps with hot sauce or add sliced jalapeños for an added kick.

Advice for Gifting

For a fun twist, package the buffalo cauliflower and lettuce wraps separately in a meal prep container along with the buffalo sauce and a small jar of ranch or blue cheese dressing. Include a recipe card for your friends to easily reassemble the wraps on their own!

Fun Ways to Serve

Buffalo Cauliflower Sliders: Serve the buffalo cauliflower on small slider buns with a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese for a mini version of the wraps.
Buffalo Cauliflower Salad: Toss the buffalo cauliflower into a salad with arugula, spinach, or mixed greens for a hearty, spicy salad.
As an Appetizer: Serve the buffalo cauliflower as bite-sized pieces with toothpicks for a fun appetizer at your next gathering.
