# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Spread seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 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. Refrigerate until service.
06 - Transfer roasted cauliflower to a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce over florets and toss until completely coated.
07 - Return sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and roast for 5 to 7 additional minutes until edges achieve maximum crispiness.
08 - Transfer cauliflower wings to a serving platter. Serve immediately with chilled ranch yogurt dip on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They satisfy that spicy, crispy wing craving without the guilt or carbs.
  • The ranch yogurt dip is tangy and cooling, making these feel like a complete meal rather than just a side.
02 -
  • Don't skip the second roast after saucing—this is what makes the edges crispy instead of soggy and chewy.
  • Pat your cauliflower completely dry before tossing with oil, or the seasoning won't stick and you'll end up with a watery mess on the pan.
03 -
  • If you want extra heat, add cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce or sprinkle it on right after saucing while everything is still hot.
  • Broiling for 2 to 3 minutes at the very end creates an incredible texture that feels almost fried without any actual frying.
