Ingredients & Substitutions
The key to this recipe is using fresh, ripe avocados for the guacamole—trust me, it makes all the difference! If you're not a fan of cilantro, you can easily substitute it with parsley. And feel free to play around with the spices; I sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon for a unique twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to prepare extra guacamole and store it in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to minimize browning.
- •If you're short on time, you can skip roasting the cauliflower and sauté it in a pan with the same spices until tender!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I love adding roasted sweet potatoes with the cauliflower for a sweet twist.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding pickled jalapeños on top for an extra kick!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat the cauliflower in the oven to keep it crispy when you're ready to enjoy it again!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen cauliflower?
Absolutely! Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before roasting. It may take a little longer to roast, so keep an eye on it.
