    One-pan side dishes have a special place in the heart of any proficient cook; after all, we are more than meal preparers: we are are office workers, parents, gardeners, online experts, and everything in between.

    Busy days and unexpected plans call for uncomplicated meals that bake up in a flash and trust us, half an hour can seem like an instant in the grand scheme of an eventful day.

    Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower

    It may be surprising to hear that cauliflower is a great alternative to buffalo chicken wings, yet it is true - under the right circumstances, cauliflower is extremely beguiling. There are many reasons to choose cauliflower, first and foremost for its high levels of vitamin C.

    It is also a good source of vitamin K and is best consumed with some type of healthy Paleo fat. So while the florets are roasting away in the oven, whip up some dip; we have provided a pair of moreish suggestions below.

    You have every right to serve these roasted buffalo cauliflower bites as a spicy appetizer at your next social gathering.

    Place them alongside an enticing bowl of Paleo sour cream, or creamy ranch dressing, for easy dipping with some celery stalks and crunchy carrot sticks on the side. It's an easy way to get your game on and satisfy the healthy appetites of those around you.
