Roasted Veggie Taco Skillet Recipes

ROASTED VEGGIE TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash and chop 3-4 small zucchini or summer squash into rounds. Cut the zucchini rounds in half.
• Wash and cut 1-2 bell peppers into large chunks. You can use any color bell pepper you like.
• Place the chopped veggies on a baking sheet. Feel free to use 2 baking sheets if the veggies don't fit onto one pan.
• Drizzle the veggies with 2 Tbsp. olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle 1 tsp. smoked paprika, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, 1 tsp. Adobo seasoning, and 1/8 tsp. or so of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
• Place the baking sheet(s) in the oven and roast for 20-22 minutes. Stir the veggies once during the roasting process to prevent sticking. Remove the pan(s) once the veggies are roasted and set aside.
• Heat 1 can of black beans (or beans of choice) on the stove top as the veggies are roasting according to package instructions.
• Chop 1-2 cups of spinach or leafy greens. Cut 1 avocado into slices. Mince 1/2 cup fresh cilantro.
• To serve: Heat tortillas if desired. Place a few spoonfuls of black beans and a few spoonfuls of roasted veggies onto tortilla. Sprinkle chopped greens, cilantro, and Queso Fresco cheese on taco. Garnish with avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a dash of hot sauce.

SHEET PAN ROASTED VEGGIE TACOS

Steps:

• First, make whatever sauce you are choosing to go with this recipe to save you time and so you are ready when it's time to eat. More in my note section below. The recipes are linked in the ingredients and can be found in the post itself and in the note section too!
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Depending on the size of your sheet pan, you may need to use two pans in order to fit all of the veggies.
• In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients for the spices so they are well combined: cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt and pepper.
• Add the cauliflower florets, diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, red onion, and corn (if using) to the prepared pan. Drizzle with avocado oil and lime juice. Sprinkle spices all over the veggies. Use a tong or clean hands to combine all the veggies so they are well coated with the spices and oil. I find that using hands is much easier!
• Roast the veggies for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through. You'll know they are done when sweet potatoes are fork tender. During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, remove the pan from the oven and add the rinsed and drained black beans right to the sheet pan with the veggies. This is simply to warm the beans in the oven without needing to use another pot or bowl!
• Serve on charred tortillas with my favorite jalapeno cashew cream sauce, a little red cabbage for crunch, avocado slices and cilantro. Enjoy! Serves 4, 2 tacos each.

ROASTED VEGGIE TACO SKILLET

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and light green and white scallions and quickly saute, taking care not to burn the garlic, for 2 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the roasted veggies, black beans, spinach and corn. Season with salt and pepper and add the salsa. Increase the heat to medium-high and let cook until the spinach and corn thaw and the sauce gently simmers, 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water if necessary, to thin out the sauce.
• Top with the cheese, then cover and let cook until the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Top with the scallion greens and any other optional garnish. Serve from the skillet with the tortillas.
