Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 slices of bread (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Wash the cauliflower head thoroughly and cut into small, uniform florets. Ensure pieces are roughly bite-sized for even roasting.
- Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring no overlapping.
- Roast cauliflower in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until edges are golden brown and crispy.
- While cauliflower roasts, slice ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a separate bowl.
- Mash avocados with fresh lime juice, additional chili powder, and salt to create a creamy, spicy spread.
- Optional: If using bread, lightly toast bread slices until golden and crisp.
- Once cauliflower is roasted, remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Spread avocado mixture generously on toasted bread, then top with roasted cauliflower florets.
- Garnish with additional chili powder, fresh cilantro, or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while cauliflower is still warm.
Tips
- Choose the freshest ingredients: Select a firm cauliflower head and perfectly ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- Roasting secrets: Cut cauliflower florets uniformly to ensure even cooking. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet—this helps achieve that perfect golden, crispy exterior.
- Spice customization: Adjust chili powder to your heat preference. For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Bread alternatives: If avoiding bread, try serving the roasted cauliflower and avocado spread over mixed greens or as a standalone appetizer.
- Make-ahead tip: Roast cauliflower and prepare avocado spread in advance. Assemble just before serving to maintain optimal crispiness and freshness.
- Garnish generously: Fresh herbs like cilantro, a squeeze of extra lime, or a sprinkle of sea salt can elevate the dish's flavor profile.
