Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine cauliflower, olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, pepper and 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce. Stir to combine. Spread evenly on baking sheet and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. Increase heat to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until cauliflower begins to brown. Remove from the oven. Place cauliflower back in a bowl. Add remaining buffalo sauce and stir to combine.

- Remove from the pan and repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Serve with vegan ranch, additional cilantro & buffalo sauce.

Notes
*If you don't have vegan cream cheese (or just don't want to use it), you can omit it and just double the avocado.
