Ingredients
-
8 cups 1 1/2-inch cauliflower florets
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
A pinch of black pepper
-
Cooking spray or your desired oil (optional – desired amount)
-
2 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or your desired oil (if using non-stick, no oil/spray is needed).
Step 2
Toss cauliflower florets into a large bowl and drizzle a small amount of oil over them; add black pepper.
Spread the cauliflower florets onto the prepared baking sheet; (reserve the bowl).
Roast the cauliflower until it’s starting to soften and brown on the bottom (about 20 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of the florets ~ check often to make sure they do not burn).
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine 2 tbsp. of hot sauce and 1 tbsp. of lemon juice into the bowl.
Take out the roasted cauliflower from the oven and add to the bowl ~ mix thoroughly.
Return the cauliflower to the baking sheet and continue roasting until hot, about 10 additional minutes more.
