This bare-bones version of buffalo cauliflower relies on a hot roast to crisp the edges before tossing in buffalo sauce and a pat of butter for shine. It works as a low-fuss appetizer, game-day snack, or a spicy side alongside grilled chicken or ranch dip.
Ingredients
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Roast the cauliflower until the edges are golden brown and the florets are tender when pierced with a fork, stirring once halfway through.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce and melted butter.
-
Add the roasted cauliflower to the bowl and toss gently until every piece is evenly coated.
-
Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.
