Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 pounds / 900g)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (5g)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (5g)
  • ½ tsp ground cumin (2.5g)
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste) (1.25g)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 large leaves lettuce (such as romaine or butter lettuce) for shells
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup vegan sour cream (4 tablespoons)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper until the florets are evenly coated.
  • Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and has a nice golden-brown color.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare your taco shells by washing the lettuce leaves and patting them dry.
  • Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate, open-faced to create shells.
  • Once the cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Assemble the tacos by dividing the roasted cauliflower among the lettuce shells.
  • Top each taco with sliced avocado, a dollop of vegan sour cream, and a sprinkle of diced red onion.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For added heat, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the cauliflower mix.
If you're not strictly vegan and are open to dairy, you can substitute vegan sour cream with regular sour cream.
To keep the carbs in check, ensure you choose the lowest carb vegan sour cream available.
The lime not only adds a pop of flavor but also helps in bringing out the vibrant flavors of the spices.
