Description
Spicy and savory vegan tacos featuring roasted cauliflower coated in a Gochujang sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 12 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly browned.
- While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the Gochujang, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger.
- Heat the sauce over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the Gochujang sauce over the cauliflower and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions (in a dry skillet or microwave).
- Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the sauced cauliflower, shredded cabbage, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the cauliflower for the last 2 minutes after tossing with the sauce.
- If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of Gochujang used.
- Tamari is a good gluten-free substitute for soy sauce.
