Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Make the pickled red onions: Place the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pepper into a mason jar. Cover and shake until the sugar dissolves. Add the red onion and submerge the slices as much as possible. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the cauliflower.

  2. 2

    Roast the cauliflower: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

  3. 3

    Core the cauliflower and cut into small 1-inch florets. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and add the turmeric, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to evenly coat, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, stirring twice, until the cauliflower is tender and crisps around the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.

  4. 4

    For the tacos: While the cauliflower is cooking, mix the yogurt, mint, garlic, lime zest, and juice; season with salt and pepper and set aside.

  5. 5

    To assemble, fill the tortillas with the roasted cauliflower, then top with the pickled red onions and mint yogurt sauce. Serve.
