Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss cubed potatoes and cauliflower florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  4. While vegetables are roasting, sauté chopped onion and green pepper in 1 tbsp olive oil until softened.
  5. In a separate pan, sauté grated carrots and diced peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper until slightly softened.
  6. Add pasta sauce, a pinch of sugar (to balance acidity), and simmer for 5 minutes to create the spicy carrot salsa. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  7. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
  8. Assemble burrito bowls with roasted potatoes, cauliflower, sautéed onion and pepper, and spicy carrot salsa.
  9. Optional toppings: avocado slices, chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (if not strictly vegan).
