Best 4 Roasted Cauliflower Taco Recipes

OVEN-ROASTED TACO CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil and the taco seasoning. Add the cauliflower and the white parts of the green onion and stir to coat.
• Spread vegetables on a baking tray. Be sure the pieces do not touch each other. Sprinkle with salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then turn. Return to oven for an addition 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden and the edges are caramelized.
• Sprinkle with the green parts of the green onions before serving.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Place the cauliflower and cabbage on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin, coriander, and salt. Use your hands to mix everything together and spread it out into an even layer. Roast, stirring every 15 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and browned in spots, about 45 minutes. (I roasted my cabbage and cauliflower on two separate sheet pans. I cooked the cauliflower for 25 minutes and the cabbage for 10 minutes. Both ways work!)
• Evenly divide the Avocado Sauce and roasted vegetables among the tortillas. Serve immediately with the radishes, serranos, avocado slices, and cilantro, if using.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER TACO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Cut the cauliflower into bite-size florets, but for this vegetable, no need to make them all even in size. The smaller ones get more blistery, the bigger ones retain more texture. Put the florets in a bowl and toss with the olive oil, cumin seeds and salt. Generously coat, no need to skimp on flavor!
• Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until the cauliflower is tender and it's edges are golden brown.
• To serve, fill a tortilla with approximately 1/3 cup of the roasted cauliflower. Top with crumbled feta, a drizzle of Greek yogurt mixed with chipotles in adobo and a sprinkle of chopped mint. Garnish with a small handful of micro-greens. Reserve the remaining ingredients for additional tacos.
• In a large bowl, combine the masa, salt and olive oil. Whilst mixing by hand, slowly pour in the water in a thin stream, adding only enough water to bring the dough together. It should be neither too dry nor too sticky. Roll the dough into 2-inch balls and cover with a damp towel until ready to press.
• Place a ball of dough in between 2 sheets of wax paper or use a sandwich-size freezer bag (with scissors, evenly cut the closure edge and the 2 side edges, so that the bag is only attached on one edge) and place in a tortilla press. Press the dough into a flat, round tortilla. Keep the tortillas covered with a damp towel until ready to cook.
• When ready to cook, heat a cast-iron skillet to high heat. Cook the tortillas in the dry pan for 30 seconds per side until golden and even browned or blackened in places.
• Put your hot tortillas in a basket wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them warm and tender. Corn tortillas can be made 2 hours in advance, wrapped and reheated in a 350 degree F oven for about 12 minutes or in the microwave for 2 minutes.

CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Toss together the red and green cabbage with the juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, chipotle puree, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper. Toss the cauliflower florets in the spice mixture until well coated. Place in a singe layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until well browned, 20 to 25 minutes. While the cauliflower roasts, make the avocado crema.
• Place the avocado, chopped cilantro and the juice of the remaining lime in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and use a fork to mash until the mixture is smooth.
• Heat the tortillas by placing in a dry pan over medium heat for a few seconds, until soft and pliable. Place a few cauliflower florets in each tortilla. Drizzle with the avocado crema and top with the cilantro leaves, cabbage and radishes. Add hot sauce, if desired.
• Put on a platter and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.
