# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste indulgent and messy in the best way, but you're eating vegetables and staying in ketosis.
  • The contrast between crispy edges and that creamy, herby dip is genuinely addictive, no willpower required.
  • Prep is minimal and everything comes together faster than delivery would arrive.
02 -
  • Don't skip the flip halfway through the first roast—one side will burn while the other stays pale, and you'll spend the second roast cursing at your oven.
  • If your buffalo sauce tastes too sharp, you didn't use enough butter; if it tastes flat, add more vinegar—this balance is everything.
03 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet—give florets space to roast instead of steam, or you'll end up disappointed.
  • Check your hot sauce label; some brands sneak in sugar, so stick with Frank's or a brand you've verified.
