30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 head cauliflower (14–16 oz)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup unsalted peanuts
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons water, divided
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, divided
  • 1 large head Bibb (or iceberg) lettuce
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • ½ cup sliced green onions

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat baking sheet with spray. Chop cauliflower into florets, then into bite-size pieces. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet and coat with spray; bake 12–15 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
    2. Meanwhile, peel ginger, then chop ginger, garlic (2 teaspoons each), and peanuts. Combine in small saucepan: ginger, garlic, soy sauce, ¼ cup water, brown sugar, cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon sriracha; whisk thoroughly. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer 1–2 minutes, stirring often, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
    3. Separate leaves from head of lettuce; rinse and drain well. Combine yogurt with remaining 2 tablespoons water and 1 teaspoon sriracha. Toss cauliflower in soy sauce mixture. Build each lettuce leaf taco with cauliflower mixture, carrots, green onions, and drizzle of yogurt mixture. Sprinkle with peanuts before serving.
