Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cashews, plain, unsalted, unroasted
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, cold pressed, virgin, melted
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
- 1 green chili, washed, whole
- 3 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 cauliflower, medium head, washed and cut into bite sized chunks
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 380°F/193°C with oven rack near the top
- In a small food processor, add all the ingredients, except cauliflower
- Place the cauliflower florets on a large oven tray, lined with parchment paper. Pour the marinate on top of the florets.
- Mix well, to ensure all the cauliflower pieces are coated
- Bake (top rack) for 15 minutes. Then broil for 3 minutes, turn the cauliflower florets and broil for 2 minutes, until charred.
- Garnish with generous amounts of lemon juice and serve immediately in tacos. Add your favorite fillings. See suggestions in blog.
Notes
- Remember to preheat your oven to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C)
- Trim the florets of the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces
- Make sure the cauliflower florets are similar in size - to ensure even cooking. I like to keep them medium so they're mouth-friendly
- Wear gloves when rubbing the curry powder mixture onto the florets. The color of the spices will transfer onto your nails and hands
- Place the oven rack near the top-middle to speed up the cooking, and to give the florets that beautiful charred colour. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- You don't want to cook for too long, otherwise, the florets will be mushy. I like to keep them a bit on the crunchy side
- Enjoy whilst hot and don't forget to warm those tacos before assembling
- Cauliflower tacos can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Be sure to serve this cauliflower filling in your tacos right away. It's best when fresh, rather than storing it for later.
- Dress the cauliflower taco filling with lemon juice to make this vegan cauliflower recipe even more delicious
