The roasted cauliflower by itself will tickle your tastebuds!
This combination has been one of my weekly must-haves for over a year now!! It is the perfect lunch on days after some morning yoga or movement… when I want something fibrous & filling but not very carb-heavy!
Inspired by Israeli food from @miznonvienna & @hungryguywien - some of my favorite lunch spots in Vienna that specialize is such delicious pitas and their vegetable game is on point!!!
When creating this at home, I usually pop the cauliflower in the oven and do a lil workout while I wait for it to bake to perfection! Then I pair with sparkling water & freshly-squeezed Lemon juice for extra hydration & a Vitamin C boost!

Throw the roasted cauliflower from the oven on the tortilla or pita
Place fresh sprouts and lettuce on top of the roasted cauliflower
Voilá, your pita is done and ready to be consumed!!
Days at my hometown in California, I tend to make this a lot for me and my mom! She loves the roasted cauliflower but actually prefers topping a mixed greens salad with the cauli & veggies that I use to make my wrap. This is a perfect for those of you avoiding extra carbs from the tortilla or pita!
At the end of the day, the choice is yours! What do you prefer?? Wrap-styled or on a salad?? Let me know your thoughts by dropping a comment or starting a conversation on @being.soulfull on Instagram! :)
