These 10-ingredient flavor miracles make a crowd-pleasing appetizer for four or light spring or summer meal for two. Let’s get to it! We’ve done tofu lettuce wraps before, but this time eggplant joins in on the fun! We bake the tofu and eggplant together in a sweet + spicy sesame tamari sauce, resulting in tofu with a firm, “meaty” texture and eggplant that’s tender and caramelized with crisp edges. Then we add a few more ingredients (tahini, lime juice, and maple syrup) to that same savory sauce, and it doubles as a creamy dipping sauce! Minimal effort, maximal flavor. Lastly, it’s assembly time! Keep these lettuce wraps simple by adding the roasted tofu, eggplant, and dipping sauce to lettuce leaves, or bump up the freshness factor by adding sliced veggies (carrot and cucumber) and herbs (cilantro, basil, and/or green onions)! We hope you LOVE these lettuce wraps! They’re:CrispyFreshSaucyNuttyHerby& SO delicious! These wraps make a great appetizer alongside other Asian-inspired recipes and would also be perfect as a light spring or summer meal! You could also serve them with rice for a more filling meal.
