Cauliflower

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Season Cauliflower

    Drizzle olive oil over the cauliflower and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Bake Cauliflower

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

  2. 5

    Make Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine and heat through.

  3. 6

    Toss in Sauce

    Once the cauliflower is cooked, remove it from the oven and place it in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the cauliflower and toss until well coated.
