Crispy Sesame Ginger Cauliflower Tacos

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 40 mins | Total: 50 mins | Quantity: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 small cauliflowers
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 bell pepper – diced
  • 1 red onion – peeled and finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 6 cloves garlic – peeled and crushed
  • small piece fresh ginger – peeled and grated
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper – add more if you prefer it spicier!
  • 1 heaped teaspoon dried sage
  • salt and pepper

To serve:

  • 8 taco shells
  • Lettuce
  • Sliced avocado
  • Grated vegan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6
  2. Break the cauliflower(s) into florets and place on a baking tray. Space them fairly well apart (use 2 trays if necessary) so they go crispy rather than steam
  3. Drizzle with the vegetable oil and salt and pepper then roast for 40-45 minutes.
  4. Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan or skillet then saute the diced pepper and onion over a low heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently, until just softened
  5. Stir in the soy sauce, balsamic, tomato puree, garlic, ginger, sage, paprika, cayenne and a good pinch each of salt and pepper
  6. Add enough water, a little at a time, to make a thickish sauce - you want it to coat the cauliflower rather than run off so you don't want it too thin
  7. Set aside until the cauliflower is cooked then return to the heat and stir in the cauliflower, turning it through the sauce making sure it's well coated
  8. Layer lettuce, sliced avocado and grated cheese into your taco shells, top with the roasted cauliflower and more cheese
  9. Cool and store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. Reheat in a microwave or frying pan
