Buffalo Cauliflower

Buffalo Cauliflower Recipe from Food Network.

Ingredients

Cheese Sauce:

• 1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
• 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
• 1 tablespoon skim milk
• 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Buffalo Cauliflower:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank’s
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt
• 8 cups cauliflower florets (from about 1 medium head)

Directions

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Start the cheese sauce by whisking together sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover the mixture and refrigerate it to chill for about 30 minutes.
3. While the sauce chills, prepare the Buffalo cauliflower. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then whisk in hot sauce and lemon juice. Set this mixture aside.
4. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water. Toss the cauliflower florets in the mixture until they are well coated.
5. Spread the cauliflower evenly on a rimmed baking sheet and roast it in the oven until it begins to brown and is just tender for approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the hot sauce mixture again to ensure it’s well combined, then drizzle it over the roasted cauliflower. Toss the cauliflower with tongs to coat it evenly and return it to the oven. Roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and caramelized around the edges.
6. Serve the hot cauliflower alongside the chilled cheese sauce for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
