Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the cauliflower.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, add the cauliflower florets. Pour in the olive oil, then sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Toss the cauliflower thoroughly until each piece is well coated with the oil and spices.

      Roast the Cauliflower: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets evenly on the sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cauliflower achieves a golden-brown color and is tender to the fork.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the cauliflower is roasting, take a dry skillet and place it over medium heat. Quickly warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side or until they become soft and pliable. Keep them wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to stay warm.

          Prepare the Toppings: In a separate small bowl, combine the finely shredded red cabbage with the chopped cilantro. Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and lightly season with salt and pepper, tossing gently to combine.

            Assemble the Tacos: Once the cauliflower is perfectly roasted, it’s time to build your tacos! Take a warm tortilla and place a generous scoop of roasted cauliflower in the center. Top with a hearty portion of the cabbage-cilantro mixture, add a few slices of creamy avocado, and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top if you wish.

              Add Finishing Touches: For those who enjoy a little heat, drizzle your tacos with your favorite hot sauce according to your taste preference.

                Serve: Serve your golden roasted cauliflower tacos warm, accompanied by extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top while you enjoy your meal.
