Cauliflower Preparation

Buffalo Sauce

Method

Cauliflower Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure the cauliflower gets crispy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

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

  3. 3

    Coat with Oil and Seasoning

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

Buffalo Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Toss Cauliflower in Sauce

    Once the cauliflower is roasted, remove it from the oven and place it in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss until the florets are fully coated.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Cauliflower

    Spread the coated cauliflower florets in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Remove the cauliflower from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
