Give your lunch routine a makeover with these tasty air fryer cauliflower wraps, served with crunchy chickpeas and a creamy avocado sauce.
The air fryer gives the cauliflower and chickpeas a crispy texture that perfectly complements the softness of the wrap, while the combination of spices, green leaves, herbs and avocado creates a mouth-watering taste sensation.
The cauliflower and chickpeas are coated with a little bit of oil and some fragrant curry powder and crushed chilli flakes, then air-fried for 12 to 15 minutes.
And the best part? I simply add some green leaves but you can customise the toppings to your liking, adding a personal touch to your lunch.
In the recipe below, I give the directions to make your own wraps from scratch. However, if you are rushed for time, simply swap them for a store-bought alternative.
For something a bit different but equally delicious, try my paneer kebabs which can also be cooked in an air fryer.

Benefits of Using an Air Fryer
I am well behind getting on the air fryer bandwagon. I have only been cooking with mine for a few weeks but I can honestly say that I absolutely love it!
Air fryers have become popular in recent years as a healthier alternative to deep frying. They use hot air to cook food, resulting in crispy and crunchy dishes without the added fat and calories.
Air fryers cook food faster than traditional ovens, saving you time and money. The energy savings from cooking with an air fryer are even more noticeable if you are preparing small batches of food or cooking for 1 or 2 people.
Mine is a Swan Retro Manual Air Fryer and you can read my full review here.
How to Make These Air Fryer Cauliflower Wraps
If you are making your own flatbreads start by mixing together some self-raising flour, yoghurt (Greek or dairy-free), salt, and olive oil. Cover and set aside for 20 mins to rest. When done simply cut the dough into 4 even balls. Add flour to your working surface and roll out each dough ball to a 23-25cm circle [9-10″]. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. You can easily skip this step and use some storebought wraps or flatbreads.
While the flatbreads are resting, cut the cauliflower florets into bite-size chunks and toss them with the chickpeas in olive oil, curry powder, garlic, chilli flakes, and salt.
Next whizz the avocado in a blender with fresh coriander, lemon juice, cumin, and cardamom.
When you are ready to start cooking the flatbread, place the cauliflower and chickpeas. in the basket of the air fryer and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking halfway, until browned and tender.
When everything is ready, top each flatbread with some salad leaves followed by cauliflower and chickpeas. Serve with the green sauce, finely sliced red onion and extra fresh coriander.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Cauliflower Wraps
– Make sure the cauliflower florets and chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning to ensure maximum flavour.
– Shake the air fryer basket occasionally to ensure even cooking.
– Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this can lead to uneven cooking and soggy cauliflower.
– Keep the flatbreads/ wraps warm before topping them with the cauliflower and chickpeas to prevent them from tearing or breaking.
