Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Mixing Spoon
  • Serving Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups cauliflower cut into very small florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt divided
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 6 ounces cheddar cheese grated (1 cup, tightly packed)
  • 3/4 cup low-fat sour cream or 2% Greek yogurt
  • sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut cauliflower into very small florets.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Roast cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
  • Remove roasted cauliflower and let cool slightly. In the same bowl, combine cauliflower, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  • Transfer mixture to a baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted. Optionally broil for a few minutes for a golden top.
  • Remove from oven, let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm with favorite dippers.

Notes

  • Use smaller cauliflower florets for better roasting and texture.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spiciness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try adding chopped spinach or kale for extra nutrition and color.
  • Substitute cheddar with pepper jack cheese for more heat.
