Cauliflower

Ranch Dipping Sauce

Method

Cauliflower Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy cauliflower.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.

  3. 3

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Spread the seasoned cauliflower on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Add Buffalo Sauce

    Once the cauliflower is crispy, remove it from the oven and toss it in the buffalo sauce until well coated. Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Ranch Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Whisk Together

    Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth and well blended.

  3. 8

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the ranch dipping sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
