- Combine hot sauce and coconut oil in a large bowl. Add cauliflower to the bowl and toss gently to coat with sauce.

Notes
- Use foil to line your baking sheet for easy cleanup. Most parchment papers are not safe in oven temperatures above 420°.
- Spray the foil-lined baking sheet generously with cooking spray, or coat it with vegetable or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- This isn't a make-ahead recipe, so be sure to enjoy them right away after baking.
