Ingredients
For the Cauliflower
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Nacho Assembly
- Tortilla chips (choose a sturdy brand to hold toppings)
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1-2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Vegan cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Vegan sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Roasting the Cauliflower
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the seasoned cauliflower evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through.
Assembling the Nachos
- While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare your other toppings: rinse and drain the black beans, dice the tomatoes and red onion, slice the jalapeños, and dice the avocado.
- Once the cauliflower is done roasting, remove it from the oven and set aside.
- On a large serving platter or baking sheet, spread out a layer of tortilla chips.
- Top the chips with the roasted cauliflower, black beans, corn, red onion, and tomatoes.
- Drizzle with vegan cheese sauce and add slices of jalapeños.
- If desired, warm the nachos in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from the oven and top with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve immediately with extra lime wedges and vegan sour cream on the side.
