Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets, diced sweet potato, chopped red peppers, and diced onion with the olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cut the tortillas into halves or quarters for easier layering.
- In the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of salsa sauce.
- Once the vegetables are roasted, begin the layering process.
- Add a layer of the cut tortillas over the salsa in the baking dish.
- Spread a portion of the roasted vegetables over the tortillas.
- Add a layer of black beans and a layer of spinach.
- Drizzle with salsa sauce and sprinkle with a portion of the shredded Monterey cheese.
- Continue layering with tortillas, vegetables, black beans, spinach, salsa, and cheese until all ingredients are used, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious roasted veggie enchilada casserole!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even roasting of the vegetables.
- Chop the vegetables into uniform pieces for even cooking. Smaller pieces can roast more quickly and evenly.
- Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper before roasting to enhance their flavors.
- Roast the vegetables on a large baking sheet to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
- Layer the tortillas, roasted veggies, black beans, spinach, and cheese in a baking dish. Start with a layer of salsa sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking.
- For a spicier dish, consider using a hot salsa or adding some chopped jalapeños to the vegetable mix.
- Bake the casserole at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and make slicing easier.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves for a burst of color and added freshness.
