A spicy and satisfying bowl featuring buffalo-coated roasted veggies served over quinoa or rice, perfect for quick dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot works wonderfully)
  • Unsalted butter, melted
  • Honey or maple syrup
  • Garlic powder
  • Smoked paprika
  • Cauliflower florets
  • Carrots, sliced into thin sticks
  • Zucchini, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Quinoa or cooked rice
  • Optional: mixed greens

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Chop cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them out evenly on the baking sheets.
  3. Place the baking sheets in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the veggies halfway through.
  4. While the veggies are roasting, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Once the veggies are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss until everything is well-coated.
  6. Layer cooked quinoa or rice at the base of your serving bowl. Add the buffalo-coated veggies on top, and finish with optional greens for extra crunch.
  7. Serve warm and drizzle extra buffalo sauce if desired.
