This baked vegetarian dish is crispy and comforting with a Latin zing. If you have sufficient time you can marinate the cauliflower overnight, though this is not necessary. This meal can be prepared and on the table in less than an hour. Enjoy!

Lime and Cilantro Cauliflower with Avocado
- 1 large cauliflower head (chopped into bite size pieces)
- 1 lime (juice of)
- 4 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 1/2 cup cilantro (finely chopped + more for garnish)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup light mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 avocado (diced)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, add cauliflower, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix to combine and let stand for 5 – 10 minutes. You can also let it marinate overnight and proceed to Step 2 the next day.
- Transfer cauliflower into baking dish (I used 8 x 11″), reserving the garlic and cilantro on the sides of the bowl. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with reserved garlic and cilantro, and cheese. Broil until cheese is melted. Top with additional fresh cilantro and avocado. Serve hot immediately.
