Roasted Crispy Cauliflower Tacos Final

Roasted Crispy Cauliflower Tacos

These delicious Crispy Roasted Cauliflower Tacos combine two of my favourite things: caramelized cauliflower and hearty tacos. In my opinion, these are the best cauliflower tacos around! The caramelized cauliflower is hearty, seasoned, and flavourful. The pickled onions add a beautiful tart crunch, while the cilantro yogurt sauce adds creaminess and yet another layer of flavour to this delicious meal.
