Instructions
Let’s dive into the process. Remember, home cooking is all about enjoying the journey, so don’t stress over perfection!
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
- While the veggies are roasting, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas. Top with avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Add crumbled feta or vegan cheese if desired.
Cooking tip: Keep an eye on the cauliflower to ensure it doesn’t overcook. A little char adds flavor, but you don’t want it burnt.
