2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly. Cut into medium-sized florets.
In a large bowl, toss the florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the cauliflower in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on the edges.
Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a clean bowl and toss with buffalo sauce until well coated.
(Optional) Return to oven and broil for 3–5 minutes for extra crisp.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
