Buffalo Bacon Roasted Cauliflower

I love the spicy vinegary flavor of Buffalo wings, along with a great blue cheese dressing for dipping them in. Now I can get those same great flavors in an easy-to-make side dish. The only way possible to make this Buffalo bacon roasted cauliflower any better is to double the recipe. Because more is definitely better.

Buffalo Bacon Roasted Cauliflower

Crazy Good And Different

If you’re not in to the funkiness that blue cheese has, try substituting cubed Monterey jack cheese instead. We still like the funky, but not super duper funky, so we often substitute gorgonzola cheese instead. No matter what you use Buffalo bacon roasted cauliflower is a treat.

Also try my cauliflower steaks and Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun cauliflower.
