Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets, large head
- ½ cup water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- ¼ cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- Heat oven to 400ºF.
- In a large bowl toss together the cauliflower, water, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt. Spread the cauliflower on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, and lemon juice. Remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss with the hot sauce mixture. Roast for another 6-8 minutes.
