- WOW from the saucy roasted cauliflower.
Vegan BBQ Maple Cauliflower Bites
These cauliflower bites are reminiscent of honey chicken wings or bbq pork ribs I indulged in as a child. The sauce is sweet, a little tangy and has the wonderful flavour profile of bbq sauce!
All you have to do is:
- Cut the cauliflower into florets. Prepare the batter and dip the florets in. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the maple bbq glaze. Dip the battered cauliflower in the glaze. Bake for another 10 minutes
Then you’re one step closer to bliss!
Assembling the wraps
First, make your butter bean puree and spread thickly on your wraps!
I always love packing my wraps with lots of fresh vegetables to complement the main filling.
Since the cauliflower is pretty strong in flavour, I preferred subtle and fresh vegetables such as salad leaves, cucumber and capsicum. Vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, lettuce and tomatoes would work too!
I hope you enjoy this recipe!

any recommendations on gluten free wraps that don’t break? Thinking of making these for for 9 teachers for teacher appreciation week. Curious if you think they will be good transported and not eaten immediately? 🤔
Depends on where you’re based, but I used BFree gluten-free wraps and they don’t break easily. These wraps can be easily transported and refrigerated, but I would definitely warm them up before serving. Some gluten-free wraps can be a little hard when they’re not warm. Hope that helps!
Super helpful. Thank you!
Hi Anthea,
I don’t have access to rice flour in my country and I’d really like to make this recipe tonight. What could I use instead?
Hi Iris, you can use plain flour (all-purpose flour) but may need to add more or less depending on the consistency. Hope that helps!
So good! Definitely becoming a regular meal! Thank you for the progress picks too I think I definitely would have gone overboard with the batter otherwise haha
Hi Penny, I’m so thrilled that this recipe will be a keeper for you! And I’m glad that you found the progress pics helpful too – I’m personally a visual leaner, so it’s great that they’re useful to someone else too haha!
Deliscious! Packed with flavour and texture. Will definitely be making this again.
That’s lovely to hear, thanks so much Rhona!
These wraps are truly delicious, the smell alone is amazing. Recipe is very clear, so easy to make for anyone
Aw thanks so much for your kind feedback Mir! And I’m so glad you enjoyed these wraps!
These look soo good (like all your recipes)!! You wouldn’t happen to have metric measurements for the cabbage and salad leaves? No worries if not, just thought I’d ask. Thanks so much 🙂
Aw thank you! I’ve just updated the recipe to include the grams measurements for the cabbage and salad leaves :). Hope that helps!
These cauliflower wraps were sooo yummy and super easy to make. Definitely putting them in my menu repertoire 🙂
