This recipe is especially for anyone asking what can vegans eat at a party.

I say that because we are heading into a season of party going and entertaining.
As a result, there are people asking what to serve for vegan diet followers.

Cauliflower is always a good choice for an appetizer as far as I am concerned.

Whether you choose to serve cauliflower on a veggie tray or prepare it like in this recipe.
This recipe for buffalo style cauliflower can really be served just like you would serve a buffalo style chicken too.

Here is how to prepare the cauliflower for this recipe.

To make this recipe you will need one head of cauliflower.
Choose an average sized cauliflower that has no spots on it and is also firm to the touch.

Break off the florets when your are ready to roast the cauliflower.

Rinse the cauliflower in cold water, I prefer to soak mine for a few minutes before rinsing.
Allow the cauliflower to drain and then use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to pat the florets dry.

Roast Cauliflower

Tips for making this roasted cauliflower recipe.

I just mentioned that you should rinse your cauliflower and pat it dry before using it in this recipe.
You should also break off the florets into bite sized pieces.

Here are some more great tips for you.

  1. This recipe is not for a breaded cauliflower. However, you could combine ¼-1/2 cup of flour of your choice with the seasonings along with enough water (⅓-1/2 cup) to coat the cauliflower before you roast it. The ingredient amounts for the flour and water will depend upon the kind of flour that you are using as well as the cauliflower.
  2. This recipe calls for chili seasonings. Feel free to sub in a hot sauce or other kind of seasoning as desired.
  3. Sometimes roasted cauliflower can come out mushy. To prevent this from happening, make sure that your cauliflower is dry before using it in this recipe. Also, if you choose to add flour use the least amount of water as possible.
