Vegan Prego Rolls are saucy, spicy and satisfying rolls that make the perfect vegan lunch or dinner! If you’re feeling like a “get your hands dirty” type of meal, this should be top of the list.
These oven-roasted cauliflower steaks make the best prego “steaks” due to their simple flavour that works well with the prego sauce of your choice.
While they’re roasting, make a side dish! I suggest a simple salad or air fryer potato wedges!
