Ingredients
Scale
Spices and Seasoning
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups cauliflower florets (approximately 1/2 head)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (more or less to taste)
For Serving
- 4 corn tortillas
- 2 green onions (diced)
- 2 cups lettuce (chopped)
- 1 avocado (peeled and sliced)
- 2 1/2 tbsp vegan ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheating: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup after roasting.
- Prepare Cauliflower and Sauce: Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. In a separate bowl, whisk together chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper with half of the buffalo sauce and olive oil. Toss the cauliflower well to coat evenly.
- Roasting: Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, developing a crispy texture.
- Chopping Toppings: While the cauliflower roasts, prepare your taco toppings. Slice the avocado, chop the lettuce and green onions (and optional fresh cilantro or tomatoes if desired) for fresh and crunchy layering.
- Assembling Tacos: Remove the roasted cauliflower from the oven. If you prefer a stronger buffalo flavor, toss it with the remaining buffalo sauce. Warm the corn tortillas, then layer with roasted cauliflower, chopped toppings, and drizzle with vegan ranch dressing before serving.
Notes
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount to taste depending on your spice preference.
- For extra crispiness, flip the cauliflower halfway through roasting.
- Feel free to add other fresh toppings like diced tomatoes or cilantro for extra flavor.
- Warm the corn tortillas on a skillet or in the oven before assembling for best texture.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free when using corn tortillas and vegan sauces.
