Ingredients
- One 1.5lbs head of cauliflower I used purple you can use white
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder less for smaller head
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground lack pepper
- ½ teaspoon Paprika or chili powder
- 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 10-12 small corn tortillas or flour
- Garnishes of choice*
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 390F or 200C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and set it aside.
- Rinse and pat dry the head cauliflower, then slice off the leaves and large stem and cut into small bite-size florets.
- Combine all of the spices in a small bowl. You can taste it and adjust the salt or anything you’d like.
- Spread out the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet then drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the spices mixture over the cauliflower making sure to coat all sides.
- Place the sheet pan in the center of the oven and roast for 8 minutes then flip over and roast another 5 minutes or until the edges are a little golden brown and the center feels soft.
- Carefully remove from the oven and allow to come to room temperature. Then drizzle some freshly squeezed lime juice over the florets.
- Have the garnishes ready to go and warm up your tortillas.
- Spread some chipotle mayo on warm corn tortilla then add the roasted cauliflower—or you can also lay the cauliflower on the tortilla then cover with the mayo.
- Top with the remaining garnishes of your choice and serve right away.
