Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh lime juice
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your sweet potatoes and cauliflower roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes and chopped cauliflower. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cumin and paprika. Toss everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes and cauliflower onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the vegetables are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- While the vegetables are roasting, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing them in the oven for the last 5 minutes of the vegetable roasting time.
- Once the sweet potatoes and cauliflower are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous portion of the roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower onto each tortilla.
- Top each taco with sliced avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for added flavor.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Sweet Potato and Cauliflower Tacos!
Tips
- Perfect Roasting: To achieve that perfect caramelization, ensure your sweet potatoes and cauliflower are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to experiment with additional spices! A pinch of chili powder or a dash of smoked paprika can add an extra kick to your veggies.
- Warm Tortillas: For the best texture, warm your corn tortillas just before assembling the tacos. This makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor.
- Avocado Alternatives: If you're out of avocado, try topping your tacos with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of feta cheese for a creamy finish.
- Garnish Galore: Don't skip the cilantro! It adds a fresh pop of flavor that beautifully complements the roasted vegetables. Consider adding sliced radishes or pickled onions for an extra zing.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe is great for meal prep! Roast extra veggies and store them in the fridge for easy taco assembly throughout the week.
