Instructions
1-Getting started with this cauliflower nachos recipe is straightforward and fun, perfect for home cooks of all levels. Begin by preheating your oven to 420ยฐF and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup a breeze. This simple step sets the stage for crispy, delicious results that everyone will enjoy.
2-Next, chop the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and toss them with the taco seasoning, salt, and olive oil until they’re evenly coated. Spread the florets out on the baking sheet and roast them for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through for that perfect golden brown. While the cauliflower roasts, whip up the sauce by whisking together sour cream, lime juice, and sriracha in a small bowl for a zesty finish.
3-Once the cauliflower is done, push the florets together on the tray and layer on the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and jalapeรฑo slices. Pop it back in the oven just until the cheese melts and everything is warm and gooey. Finally, garnish your nachos with diced tomato, diced avocado, chopped scallion, pickled red onions, fresh cilantro, and that homemade sauce for a burst of flavor and color.
