Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Toss well to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated.
- Step 3: Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
- Step 5: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the buffalo wing sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss to coat evenly.
- Step 6: Return the cauliflower to the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized and the cauliflower is heated through. Serve immediately with blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For the best texture, reheat in a skillet over medium heat rather than microwaving.
- Serve this roasted cauliflower as a flavorful side dish or a spicy vegetarian appetizer.
- For extra crispy edges, ensure the cauliflower florets are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
