Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, grated (or 4 cups pre-riced cauliflower)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup canned black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained

1 ripe avocado, diced

½ cup corn (canned or frozen)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Juice of 1 fresh lime

Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños for heat, crumbled feta cheese for tanginess, or a dollop of sour cream for creaminess

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.

    Prepare the Cauliflower: If you’re using a whole head of cauliflower, start by removing the leaves and core. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles small rice grains.

      Season the Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, as well as salt and pepper to taste. Toss until the cauliflower is evenly coated in the seasonings.

        Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the seasoned cauliflower rice evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, making sure to stir halfway through for even cooking.

          Assemble the Bowls: In individual serving bowls, start layering by adding a base of roasted cauliflower rice. Top with rinsed black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, corn, and diced avocado.

            Add Freshness: Generously sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top of the bowls and finish with a drizzle of lime juice for zest.

              Serve and Add Optional Toppings: Enhance your bowls with any desired optional toppings. Consider adding sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick, crumbled feta cheese for a tangy flavor contrast, or a creamy dollop of sour cream.

                Enjoy: To enjoy, mix all the ingredients together in your bowl, allowing the flavors to blend beautifully, and dive into your delightful Crunchy Cauliflower Rice Bowls!
