Roasted Cauliflower Fried Halloumi Tacos

Trying to keep up with a meatless meal once a week. Never EVER will I go vegetarian/vegan so one meal a day without meat is more than enough. This recipe focuses on halloumi, which is salty, cheesy, and absolutely delicious in a taco with some other veggies and a wonderful spicy avocado sauce that makes it all pop. This recipe is from Half-Baked Harvest who always has the most delicious and creative recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1 Large or 2 small cauliflower heads, cut into florets
  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 2 TSP Smoked Paprika
  • 1 TSP Chili Powder

  • 1 14 oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 oz Halloumi cheese, sliced
  • 1 Cucumber or Zucchini, shredded
  • 1 Package tortillas of your liking

Spicy Avocado Basil Guac

  • 1 Cup Fresh Basil

Antoni’s Cauliflower Steaks

I’m not a cauliflower person, or a vegetable for a meal person for that matter. I’m a meat and potatoes kind of gal, always have been & always will be. BUT I am open to trying new things, and of course it’s Antoni’s recipe so I had to. I LOVED this recipe, it is spicy and seriously so good.

Ingredients

  • 1 Large Head Cauliflower
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 TSP Ground Turmeric
  • 1/4 TSP Kosher Salt
  • 4 Large Dates, pitted & thinly sliced length wise
  • 1/2 Cup Loosely Packed Cilantro Leaves
  • 3 TBSP Roasted Salted Almonds

Dressing

  • 3 TBSP Finely chopped Cilantro stems
  • 2 TBSP Gochujang or Sriracha
  • 2 TBSP Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 TSP Honey
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt

Let’s Get Cooking

Preheat the oven to 425F

Remove any green leaves from the cauliflower, trim and discard the rough part of the stem.

Cut the cauli lengthwise into about 2-3in thick steak like slices. It will fall apart, BUT THAT’S OKAY!

In a small bowl whisk together oil + turmeric + salt. Place cauli on a baking sheet & drizzle with the oil mixture. Turn the cauli around to make sure it gets coated.

Bake for 25-30 min.

While the cauli is baking, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.

Once the cauli is done, drizzle with the dressing, top with dates, cilantro leaves, & almonds.

This was a switch up from my normal meals & it was so so so good. I mean it’s Antoni’s recipe, you can never go wrong.
