Crispy Air-Fryer Cauliflower Tacos Recipe Pro Tips

  • Crowding: Do not crowd your air fryer; otherwise, your cauliflower will not crisp up correctly. So, leave some room around the cauliflower to get the crispness you desire.
  • Flipping: Depending on which air fryer you own, you may need to flip the cauliflower halfway during the cooking process. When roasting vegetables, I usually flip them a few times to cook them up perfectly.
  • Making This In An Air Fryer Oven: Using an air fryer oven, place the rack on the bottom of the air fryer oven, so the cauliflower cooks up perfectly; it will provide the best flavor and taste.

Air Fryer Cauliflower Tacos Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen cauliflower for this recipe? While fresh cauliflower is preferred for its texture, you can use frozen cauliflower florets. However, ensure they are thawed and patted dry before air frying to prevent excess moisture.

How do I prevent the cauliflower from becoming too soggy? To ensure crispy cauliflower, make sure to spread the florets out in a single layer in the air fryer basket, allowing for proper air circulation. Avoid overcrowding the basket, which can lead to uneven cooking.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas? Absolutely! Feel free to use your preferred type of tortillas for these tacos. Corn tortillas provide a delicious gluten-free option and add a traditional touch to the dish.

What toppings can I add to my cauliflower tacos? Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and a squeeze of lime juice. You can also drizzle with your favorite hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor.

Can I make the cauliflower ahead of time and reheat it later? While the cauliflower is best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispiness, you can prepare it in advance and reheat it in the air fryer for a few minutes before assembling the tacos. Just be mindful not to overcook the cauliflower during reheating to maintain its texture.

Can I customize the seasoning for the cauliflower? Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences. You can add extra spices like cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika for a spicier kick, or try different herb blends for a unique flavor profile.
