Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

Fresh Toppings

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional toppings: diced avocado, sliced radishes, vegan crema or cashew crema

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets to ensure they roast evenly.
  2. Season the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every piece is well coated with seasoning.
  3. Roast Until Crispy: Arrange the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower roasts, warm the tortillas on a dry skillet or over a low flame to enhance their flavor and make them pliable for filling.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each warmed tortilla with a generous portion of the crispy roasted cauliflower. Add fresh toppings like chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and optional diced avocado or sliced radishes for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; spread cauliflower evenly for maximum crispiness.
  • Use freshly ground chili powder and cumin for deeper, more aromatic flavors.
  • Try air frying as a quicker alternative to roasting for similar crisp results.
  • Add a drizzle of hot sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper to increase spice level if desired.
  • Balance textures by pairing crispy cauliflower with creamy avocado or tangy slaw.
