Make deliciously crispy roasted cauliflower tacos that everyone will love. This recipe focuses on getting a great texture on the cauliflower.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Toppings: cotija cheese, lime wedges, cilantro, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispiness.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the cauliflower is tender and deeply browned and crispy on the edges.
  5. Warm the tortillas according to package directions (in a dry skillet or wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave).
  6. Assemble your tacos: fill each warm tortilla with the roasted cauliflower.
  7. Top with your favorite additions like crumbled cheese, fresh cilantro, creamy avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can toss the cauliflower with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch along with the oil and spices before roasting.
  • Ensure the baking sheet is hot when you place the cauliflower on it; this helps jumpstart the browning process.
  • Adjust the spice level to your liking. A pinch of cayenne adds a nice kick.
