Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower stem and leaves removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Buffalo wing sauce for drizzling
- ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
- ½ cup fresh cilantro

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower, rinse it under cold water, and pat it dry.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful paste.

- Place the coated cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle buffalo sauce over the cauliflower, allowing it to soak in.
- Garnish with crumbled blue cheese, cilantro, chives, and green onions. Slice into wedges if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- Use avocado oil or melted coconut oil instead of olive oil for a different flavor.
- For a vegan option, use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Ensure to dry the cauliflower thoroughly after washing to avoid sogginess.
