Break down your cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

Toss cauliflower with the oil and spices until evenly coated.
Step 4
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake cauliflower in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway.
For Lime Rice:
Step 1
Add your US Grown long-grain brown rice to a pot with water. (Use as much water as the package directs – different varieties will call for different amounts).
Step 2
Cook brown rice until all water is absorbed, and rice is al dente.
Step 3
When rice is done cooking, add in the lime juice, lime zest, and salt, stirring well.
For Cumin Black Beans:
Step 1
Rinse and drain your cans of black beans. (If using homemade, make about 3 cups).
Step 2
