Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower cut into bite-size florets (about 6 cups)
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce mild or hot, to taste
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup panko crumbs optional for crunch
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese plus extra for serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or celery for garnish

Method
 

  1. Toss cauliflower, buffalo sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Stir in panko if using, then transfer mixture to the slow cooker in a single layer as much as possible.
  3. Cook on LOW for 2–3 hours or HIGH for 1–1.5 hours, until tender but not mushy.
  4. Stir in most of the blue cheese in the last 10 minutes so it melts slightly.
  5. Serve topped with remaining blue cheese and chives or celery; offer extra sauce on the side.
