# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Spread cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and slightly crispy.
04 - While cauliflower roasts, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until combined.
05 - Combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chives, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well blended and refrigerate until ready to serve.
06 - Transfer roasted cauliflower to a large bowl and toss with buffalo sauce until well coated.
07 - Return sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until edges are crispy.
08 - Transfer cauliflower to a serving platter and serve immediately with ranch yogurt dip on the side.

# Tips from the pros:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and crispy while keeping you totally on track with keto or low-carb goals.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 45 minutes, which means game night snacks without the stress.
  • One bowl gets messy, your hands get sticky, and honestly, that's when food tastes best.
02 -
  • Don't skip the second roast after tossing with sauce—it's what transforms them from soggy to genuinely crispy, and it takes only 7 minutes.
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt matters for the dip because low-fat versions become thin and sad-tasting, and the tang is what makes the whole thing work.
03 -
  • If you want maximum heat, add a pinch of cayenne to the buffalo sauce right before tossing, but start small because heat compounds during roasting.
  • Pat your cauliflower florets dry before seasoning because excess moisture steams them instead of crisping them, which is the difference between amazing and mediocre.
