Crispy Cauliflower Tacos

Taken from the june recipes, I've made the base recipe countless times. This actually encompasses three different pieces which I've made individually and all together a few times. The recipe asks you to carefully arrange the cauliflower pieces on the tray so they're barely coated and they don't touch but I've never been careful enough to follow that advice. If you have an air fryer use that. I might try cooking these in the baskets to try to get the surface crisper. It doesn't really matter, even when the sauce is still gloopy they're delicious.
