Keto is associated with fatty meats and rich cheese-based recipes. It is not as well known for vegan-friendly recipes . . . until now. This Buffalo cauliflower recipe gets a moderate dose of protein and healthy fat from the almond flour and stays low enough in carbs to make this a full meal. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk adds a subtle sweetness to this spicy dish. Be sure to choose a hot sauce without added sugar.

HACK IT: Use frozen cauliflower florets in this recipe and add 10 minutes to the cooking time.
