Crispy Coconut Cauliflower and Prawn Style Tacos

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins | Total: 45 mins | Quantity: 4 portions

Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower – broken into florets
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup pea flour
  • 1/4 cup dessicated coconut
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tblsp nutritional yeast
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 1 pack Fry’s Family Foods Prawn Style Pieces

To serve

  • 1 pack of 8 taco shells – soft or crunchy, the choice is yours!
  • Lettuce leaves – I used sweet little gem
  • Shredded/diced vegetables – I used sliced red cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red pepper and diced cucumber
  • Optional: Vegan Pesto or vegan mayo/tartar sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 and line a medium tray with parchment or silicon
  2. Put the cauliflower florets into a bowl and add the milk.  Shake to coat as much of the cauliflower as possible
  3. Put the breadcrumbs, pea flour, coconut, garlic powder, oregano, nutritional yeast and salt and pepper into a large bowl or dish and stir to combine
  4. Drain the milk off the cauliflower (discard the milk) then add the cauliflower to the breadcrumb mixture
  5. Shake well then use your hands to press the coating into the 'nooks and crannies' of the florets!
  6. Tip the cauliflower onto your prepared tray and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden and crispy
  7. While they're cooking prepare your shredded vegetables and pan fry the prawn style pieces
  8. Layer the lettuce leaves and shredded veg in your taco shell, top with the cooked cauliflower and prawns then dollop on some pesto (or vegan mayo or tartar sauce if that's your preference!)
