Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
  • 1 Tablespoon melted butter (or coconut oil for a vegan option) Substitution for vegan option.
  • ½ to ¾ cup Frank's Buffalo Wing Style hot sauce (or your favorite hot wing sauce)
Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  • olive oil to drizzle olive oil to drizzle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Place the bite-size cauliflower florets into a plastic bag.
  3. Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil over the florets to coat them.
  4. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the bag and close it tightly. Shake gently to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the coated florets on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Check for tenderness at the 10-minute mark; they shouldn’t be soggy but easy to pierce with a fork.
  3. Once done, melt your butter in a bowl and stir in the hot sauce. Toss the baked cauliflower in this spicy sauce until well coated.
  4. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes to crisp up the outside.
  5. Serve hot, alongside ranch or blue cheese dip.
