- ¼ cup bell peppers finely diced
- ¼ cup tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely diced
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños note 2

Roast Cauliflower- Heat oven to 425°F. Toss cauliflower in olive oil until coated. Add the cumin, ground coriander, chili powder and salt, tossing until combined. Spread on a sheet pan and roast for 25 minutes, tossing once halfway.
Chips- Carefully spread tortilla chips on the pan, arranging beneath the cauliflower (to ensure cauliflower gets toppings on it)
Cheese- Spread cheese evenly across, then add remaining toppings.
Bake- Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted through. Serve with sour cream, salsa, queso, pickled onions, and more.
- roughly ½ an average head of cauliflower
- we recommend chopping them so you get better coverage
- we recommend a Mexican 3-blend for best flavor
Storage
Unfortunately, cauliflower nachos do not keep well and should be eaten fresh!
