Cauliflower

Blue Cheese Dressing

Method

Preparing the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

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

  3. 3

    Season the Cauliflower

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    Add Buffalo Sauce

    Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle the buffalo sauce over the florets. Toss gently to coat them evenly, then return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Making the Blue Cheese Dressing

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Mix Well

    Stir all the ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Once the cauliflower is done baking, remove it from the oven and serve hot with the chilled blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
