How to Prepare Crispy Thai Roasted Cauliflower Tacos [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the curry paste, olive oil, and lime juice to make a thinner paste.
  3. Toss the cauliflower in the mixture and stir it to coat.
  4. In a small jar, combine all spices for the Thai seasoning and shake them together to blend.
  5. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of the Thai seasoning over the cauliflower and stir it to coat.
  6. Line a baking sheet with foil and scatter the cauliflower florets in a single layer.
  7. Roast them for 15-20 minutes or until they are crispy.
  8. Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the cabbage slaw in a large bowl.
  9. Stir the olive oil, lime juice, and agave together. Then, pour it over the slaw and stir everything in.
  10. In a blender, puree all ingredients for the avocado drizzle. Transfer it to a bottle with a squeeze top, or a sealed jar as you’ll have extra to store in the fridge.
  11. When the cauliflower is ready, remove it from the oven.
  12. Divide the cabbage slaw between 3-4 tortillas, then evenly distribute the roasted cauliflower. Drizzle the tacos with avocado sauce and garnish with additional cilantro and toasted coconut if desired.
