Roast, spiced cauliflower tacos, chipotle hummus and mango salsa
These Tacos are not only delicious, fun to assemble and nutritional powerhouses, but they also lend themselves to the substitution of ingredients to reduce food waste.
This recipe works beautifully using a mango chutney for example instead of the salsa. You could equally substitute the mango for a couple of tomatoes and create a delicious tomato salsa. Spring onions can be substituted for some leftover red onion; lemon instead of lime etc.
If you have a pot of shop-bought hummus – no problem! Just add some smoked paprika or chipotle paste. Or just leave it as it is. It's still going to do the job! You get the idea. And practically any combination of vegetables will roast to delicious perfection in the oven.
Enjoy!
