Exciting update! Nora Gedgaudas, author of the popular Primal Body, Primal Mind, just emailed me and said she tried this recipe and thinks “it is brilliant.” She said I could quote her on that! I’m smiling so big right now 
How do you tell the love of your life that they have a body odor problem? I have fallen head over heels for cauliflower, but the dear vegetable makes my kitchen smell like a putrefying laundry hamper.
In all honesty, this grain-free wrap is worth a smelly kitchen. Very, very worth it.
If you have a Pinterest account, chances are you have seen the Cauliflower Pizza Crust pinned to nearly everyone’s Recipes to Try board. Unfortunately for me, this recipe relies on a hearty dose of mozzarella to bind the crust together. Cheese and I (or rather, my stomach) just do not get along.
Secrets to a Dairy Free Cauliflower Wrap
I recently began experimenting with a dairy free cauliflower crust, just like Starlene at Gaps Diet Journey. I found that using extra egg in the dough created a pliable mixture which held together even when spread thinly on a baking sheet. Hearty spices and a pinch of salt created a flavor-packed grain-free wrap.
“Ricing” the raw cauliflower by pulsing it in a food processor creates these grain-sized crumbles.
Steaming the crumbles softens them to create a tender wrap. Next, squeeze out the excess moisture from the crumbles in a kitchen towel. They will reduce in volume.
The curry wraps have a lovely golden color.
But my favorite is the garlic herb variation.
These wraps taste delicious warm from the oven, but I can’t tell you how well they store in the fridge… they’ve never lasted that long!
Cauliflower Wraps
Yield: 2 wraps
Ingredients
- Curry Wraps:
- 1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp. curry powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Garlic Herb Wraps:
- Substitute 1 minced garlic clove and 3/4 tsp. dried herbs (basil, oregano, thyme or a combo) for the curry powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they form a crumb-like texture. Place the crumbles and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Cook on medium high heat for 8 minutes, until tender.
- Drain the cauliflower in a sieve, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Firmly squeeze any excess water from the cauliflower. In a bowl, stir together the cauliflower and remaining ingredients. Form two thin circles on the parchment-lined baking sheets. With a spatula, press down the “dough” so it forms a thin layer. Keep the wraps compact–there should be no parchment showing through the mixture in any area of the wrap.
- Bake for about 17 minutes until dry and pliable. Gently remove to a wire rack to cool so the bottom does not become soggy. Use with light fillings or tear into pieces and use to scoop up fillings.
Notes
These delicate wraps are best served within a few hours of baking.

I am allergic to dairy and sensitive to gluten so this is great and definitely going to try! Have you made any other variations?
I like to use Cauliflower cooked and mashed instead of potatoes. I also use it in place of noodles with Spaghetti Sauce.
