  1. Preheat the oven to 400F<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Whisk the vegetable broth, hot sauce, and spices in a pot and bring to a boil<\/li>\n
  3. Arrange the remaining ingredients in a casserole dish, pour the liquid on top, cover, & bake!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The secret to this one-pan wonder<\/strong> of a dish is to add just the right amount of liquid<\/em> to the casserole so the rice will absorb it and get nice and fluffy. Pre-boiling the liquid also helps speed things along in the oven, too.<\/p>\n

    After the casserole comes out of the oven, I’d highly<\/em> recommend topping it with some sliced green onions and a hearty drizzle of Nut Free Vegan Ranch<\/strong><\/a>. But you do you, boo \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

    This Buffalo Cauliflower & Chickpea Casserole is great for meal-prep, a hands-off weeknight dinner, or to share with friends! It’s bursting with spicy “buffalo” flavor and<\/em> serves as a heartier, wholesome alternative to a few deep fried wings. It’d be perfect for a game day potluck, too – would serving it alongside my Healthy Buffalo “Chicken” Dip<\/a> <\/strong>be too <\/em>much? Asking for a friend…\"buffalo<\/p>\n
