Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 large collard green leaves, stems removed and leaves washed
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- hot sauce or paleo-friendly dressing for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Spread the cauliflower on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
-
While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the collard greens by carefully removing the thick stem from each leaf, leaving the broad leafy part intact.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt to create a light, dairy-free dressing.
-
To assemble each wrap, lay a collard green leaf flat on a plate and drizzle a small amount of the lemon dressing over it.
-
Place a generous spoonful of roasted cauliflower in the center of the leaf.
-
Top with sliced avocado, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and red onion.
-
Add hot sauce or paleo-friendly dressing if desired.
-
Fold the sides of the collard leaf over the filling and roll tightly to form a wrap.
-
Repeat with remaining collard leaves and filling ingredients.
-
Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days for convenient meal prep.
