Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (vegan-friendly)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slider buns
  • Lettuce, tomato, and pickles for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway through.
  4. Add BBQ Sauce: Remove the cauliflower from the oven and drizzle with BBQ sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
