Instructions

For the Cauliflower Tacos

  • Preheat over to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Whisk together coconut milk and lime juice in medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Add breadcrumbs, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, turmeric, sea salt and paprika to food processor. Pulse for 1 minute to blend all ingredients. Pour into another medium sized bowl. Set aside.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Line up your breading station in the following order: wet ingredients, dry ingredients, baking sheet.
  • Dip a slice of cauliflower in coconut-lime batter making sure all sides are well-coated. Next place cauliflower in dry breadcrumb mixture, flipping until all sides are coated evenly.
  • Transfer cauliflower to baking sheet and repeat until all cauliflower is prepped and placed on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 30 to 60 minutes, depending upon the heat of your oven. Cauliflower is ready when it is fork-tender. While the cauliflower is baking, make the Creamy Cabbage Slaw.
