Other Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a reusable silicone baking mat to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Taco Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful homemade taco seasoning.
  3. Coat Vegetables: Spread the sliced portobello mushrooms, cauliflower florets, bell pepper strips, and red onion strips evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle the taco seasoning over them, then toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with oil and spices.
  4. Bake Vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the vegetables for 25 minutes, tossing them once halfway through. Roast until the veggies are tender and show slight browning for optimal flavor and texture.
  5. Prepare Toppings: While the veggies are baking, prepare any desired toppings such as slicing avocado or making guacamole, chopping pico de gallo, washing lettuce, or readying vegan sour cream, refried beans, jalapeños, lime wedges, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: To serve, spoon about 1/2 cup of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with a generous portion of the roasted fajita vegetables. Add your favorite toppings like avocado, pico de gallo, vegan sour cream, jalapeños, and a squeeze of lime. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy your vibrant vegan fajita bowl!
