What's Cooking? Buffalo Wing Cauliflower

While on my break at work today, Dad and I were texting about what we were going to prepare for dinner. He said he had picked up some kielbasa to pan fry  with onions. It's a new year so I wanted to try a new recipe. I told him I would make buffalo wing cauliflower as a side. Dad and I are very adventurous with trying new foods and recipes, but Mom and my brother are very picky. I picked up a medium head of cauliflower after the gym today and started preparing dinner with Dad picked up my brother from baseball practice, and mom was at work. This recipe was super easy and had great flavor! Mom tried it and went back for seconds! That's crazy from someone who doesn't like vegetables. Vegetables don't have to be bland and tasteless anymore! Try this recipe, (adapted from food network), and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

Cheese Sauce:
1/3 cup nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon skim milk
2 teaspoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Buffalo Cauliflower:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
8 cups cauliflower florets (from about 1 medium head)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
For the cheese sauce: Whisk together the sour cream, blue cheese, milk, mayonnaise, 1/8 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes
For the Buffalo cauliflower: Meanwhile, microwave the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high until melted. Whisk in the hot sauce and lemon juice and set aside.
Mix olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup water in a large bowl. Add the cauliflower and toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until beginning to brown and just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk the hot sauce mixture again, drizzle over the cauliflower and toss with tongs to coat. Roast the cauliflower until the sauce is bubbling and browned around the edges, 5 to 7 minutes more. Serve hot with the cheese sauce.
