For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the spice mixture. If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast the cauliflower and chickpeas in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the crema to suit your spice preference. A dash of honey can also balance the heat. Feel free to add other toppings like diced avocado, pickled onions, or a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese. Make sure don't overcrowd the air fryer for best results.
