Description
Thick-cut cauliflower slices roasted until golden and laced with spicy Buffalo flavor, served with a creamy vegan ranch.
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (choose your favorite Buffalo-style sauce)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Cut the cauliflower into thick slices to create ‘steaks’. Aim for 3/4–1 inch thick.
- In a bowl, mix hot sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
- Brush the spice mixture over the cauliflower steaks, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
- Place the steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown at the edges.
- While cooking, prepare the vegan ranch by whisking together vegan mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, dill, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
- Serve the buffalo cauliflower steaks hot, drizzled with creamy vegan ranch.
Notes
If you don’t have smoked paprika, use regular paprika and add a small pinch of cayenne for heat. For a richer ranch, swap half the vegan mayo for unsweetened plain plant yogurt.
