Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with green onions and fresh parsley or chives before serving. Present hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure cauliflower is well-drained and patted dry to prevent excess liquid in the dish.

For extra heat, consider increasing the quantity of buffalo sauce or adding a pinch of chili flakes.
