Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons hot sauce (Whole30-compliant)
• 1.5 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy at the edges.

Step 5

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the spicy garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Stir in the hot sauce, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove it from heat.

Step 8

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, transfer it back to the large mixing bowl.

Step 9

Pour the spicy garlic sauce over the cauliflower and toss until all pieces are well coated.

Step 10

Transfer the coated cauliflower to a serving dish, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
