For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the taco seasoning. To prevent sticking, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Experiment with different taco seasoning blends to find your favorite flavor profile. This cauliflower is also delicious served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own blend with chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
