Ingredients You Need for Cajun-Spiced Cauliflower Tacos [Vegan]

For the Cajun-Spiced Cauliflower:
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, grated
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked, sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets

For the Corn Salad:

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

  • Juice from 1/2 lime

How to Prepare Cajun-Spiced Cauliflower Tacos [Vegan]

  1. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cauliflower marinade. Whisk together the olive oil, grated garlic, brown sugar, paprika, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat in the marinade thoroughly. Refrigerate for 30 min to several hours (the longer, the better).
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cauliflower onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Reserve the bowl with the leftover marinade. Bake cauliflower for 30 minutes, flipping halfway.
  4. While the cauliflower is baking, prepare the rest of your taco toppings (sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges) and corn salsa.
  5. In the bowl with the leftover marinade, add chopped tomatoes, corn, juice from 1/2 lime, and salt to taste. Stir to combine. Refrigerate until the cauliflower finishes baking.
  6. Assemble tacos by spooning cauliflower into a corn tortilla, followed by corn salsa and other desired taco toppings.
