How to make vegan tacos!

Vegan tacos recipe

Tacos, one of man's greatest creations. The options are endless, unfortunately mostly for meat eaters. So I introduce you to my roasted butternut squash and potato tacos, easy to recreate even on the fussiest night of the week.

Oh and they are so delicious, you won't even miss the meat!

Ingredients:

2 cups chopped, peeled butternut squash
1 potato peeled and chopped
1 package Taco seasoning (as hipster friendly as possible)
1 tbsp. Oregano (preferably Mexican)
Some slices of onion (like a handful)
A pinch of salt and pepper
4 tbsp. Oil (coconut or olive)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Place the squash, potato and onion in an oven safe dish


Add the rest of the ingredients


Mix it up so everything is well coated


Place in oven and bake for 45 minutes or until brown around the edges

I served mine with guac and some lightly dressed zingy cabbage but you can add we whatever you like! Dairy fans would love some zesty vegan cheese :)

Enjoy!
