There is nothing like crispy cauliflower over a bowl of rice and beans with a tasty sauce. It is one of those combos that never gets old and can be switched up by using different toppings. These bowls are healthy and delicious – aka the perfect meal!

How to make the roasted cauliflower

To make the roasted cauliflower, cut the cauliflower into florets and add it to a baking sheet. Toss the cauliflower with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Roast it for 25 minutes, flipping halfway.

This cauliflower is perfectly charred and has the right amount of smoky flavor from the smoked paprika. While the cauliflower is cooking, get everything else ready.

What’s in these Roasted Cauliflower Burrito Bowls

The other main components of these bowls are the beans, cilantro lime rice & chipotle yogurt sauce. The rice is super quick. Just add some dry rice and broth to a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. Right before serving add some cilantro and lime juice and fluff with a fork.

The beans are a super quick way to make refried beans. Add a can of black beans to a pot with water and taco seasoning. After some of the water has boiled off, use a wooden spoon to give the beans a slight mash. Turn the heat to low and simmer until you are ready to eat.

The last thing to put together is the chipotle yogurt sauce. Grab your favorite vegan yogurt (or vegan mayo) and add chipotle peppers to taste, some adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice & salt. Give it a stir and adjust the seasonings as needed. You can use this sauce for these bowls, tacos, nachos…anything!

How to serve Roasted Cauliflower Burrito Bowls

Now that you have the base of the bowl ingredients done, let’s talk about toppings. You have lots of options when it comes to toppings. I went for pickled onions, avocado, lime wedges and cilantro.

Some other options I was thinking about were tortilla chips, pickled jalapeños, pico or corn salsa.
