Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Filling
  • cups cauliflower florets
  • tbsp olive oil
  • tsp paprika
  • tsp cumin
  • tsp garlic powder
  • salt
Taco Assembly
  • taco shells soft or hard
  • cup cabbage shredded
  • cup tomatoes diced
  • cup cheese shredded
Optional Toppings
  • cup sour cream
  • tbsp lime juice
  • cup cilantro chopped

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss cauliflower with olive oil and spices until evenly coated.
  3. Spread in a single layer to ensure crispy edges during roasting.
  4. Roast until golden, tender inside, and slightly crisp outside, stirring halfway.
  5. Warm taco shells and fill with roasted cauliflower and fresh toppings.
  6. Finish with optional toppings and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Roast longer for crispier cauliflower or less for softer texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Freeze roasted cauliflower separately and reheat in oven. Adjust spices for flavor variation. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and assemble fresh tacos when serving.
