While the cauliflower bakes, whisk together the hot sauce, vegan butter, maple syrup (if using), and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
7. Toss the Cauliflower:
Once baked, remove the cauliflower from the oven and toss it in the sauce until well coated.
8. Bake Again:
Return the sauced cauliflower to the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the sauce caramelizes slightly and the cauliflower crisps up again.
