Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Remove the stem and outer leaves from 1 large cauliflower, keeping the head intact. Pat the cauliflower dry.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper.
  • Place the cauliflower in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the cauliflower and rub it all over so the surface is evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the cauliflower, turning the head so all sides are seasoned.
  • Cover the skillet tightly with aluminum foil (or use a lid) and roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue roasting uncovered for 1 hour more, or until a knife or skewer inserted into the center of the cauliflower meets little resistance and the head is tender.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle buffalo wing sauce over the top to taste.
  • Evenly sprinkle ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese over the cauliflower, then scatter ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and 2 green onions (thinly sliced) on top.
  • Slice the cauliflower into wedges or slices and serve immediately.
