This grilled buffalo cauliflower recipe takes the classic buffalo wing flavors and transforms them into a delicious vegetarian dish. Tender cauliflower florets are coated in a spicy buffalo sauce, wrapped in foil, and grilled to perfection. The foil helps to trap the heat, ensuring that the cauliflower cooks evenly and remains tender. Serve this dish as an appetizer or a main course, and enjoy the bold and tangy flavors of buffalo sauce without the meat.
