  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 475°
  • Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. (Compost leaves and stem or save then for later to make homemade vegetable broth)
  • Place florets on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to combine.
  • Arrange florets in an even layer and roast for 15 minutes.
  • While florets are baking, combine butter, fresh garlic cloves and hot sauce in a small sauce pan. Melt ingredients together over medium low heat and set aside.
