Servings: 6
Equipment
- Sheet Pan
- Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower (6-7 cups) cut into small florets
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup mayo or sour cream (I use primal kitchen paleo mayo or vegan mayo)
- 3/4 cup coconut cream or cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 teaspoons dried chives or 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2/3 cup hot sauce (I used Franks Red Hot Original)
- For dipping: Tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, bell peppers, or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the chopped cauliflower florets onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat then sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and starts to char around the edges.
- While it’s roasting, mix the paleo mayo, coconut cream, garlic powder, dill, chives, paprika, lemon juice and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl. When the cauliflower is done, add it to the bowl and mix well to combine.
- Turn the oven down to 400°F and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with non stick pray.
- Pour the buffalo cauliflower dip into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until it’s heated through and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips, celery sticks, carrot sticks, peppers or crackers.
