We’re jumping on the bandwagon this month and trying out buffalo-wing style baked cauliflower. Did you know that one serving of cauliflower contains 77% of your daily Vitamin C requirement along with loads of other vitamins and minerals? This recipe can be made as a side or a snack and all ingredients can be purchased from your local supermarket. You can have it with salad or a range of dipping sauces.
Don’t forget to look out for a Scottish or British flag when you buy your cauliflower!

- 1 Cauliflower
- 70g Plain flour
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 30g Red hot sauce
- 2 tbsp Butter or Dairy-Free Spread

Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 220c/430f.

- Add the red hot sauce and tomato puree. Whisk until smooth.
- After 20 minutes of roasting, take the cauliflower from the oven and mix into the buffalo sauce until coated all over.
