Cauliflower Recipe ⤞ Cauliflower Nachos

Skip the chips and use slabs of roasted cauliflower instead! I opted for these toppings because they were balanced and played well off each other, but you can change them up as you please.

Ingredients

• ½ large red onion, thinly sliced
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 head cauliflower, outer leaves trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ avocado
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 2 small limes, juiced
• 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans
• 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
• ¼ cup crumbled queso fresco
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place onion slices in a small colander. Bring 2 to 3 cups water to a boil in a kettle. Pour over onion and let drain.
3. Mix vinegar, salt, sugar, and cumin together in a jar. Mix in onion slices. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
4. Cut cauliflower in half from top to bottom. Place each half flat against the cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Arrange carefully on the prepared baking sheet, trying to keep slices intact. Drizzle olive oil over cauliflower; season with salt and pepper.
5. Roast cauliflower in the preheated oven until evenly browned, about 30 minutes.
6. Combine avocado, sour cream, lime juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and salt in a blender. Blend until creamy and smooth.
7. Heat black beans in a small saucepan until heated through, about 5 minutes.
8. Spoon warmed beans over cauliflower. Dollop avocado crema over beans. Scatter pickled onion slices, cherry tomatoes, and queso fresco over crema. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
