Cooking Tips

• Feel free to customize your sandwich with additional toppings like pickles, hot sauce, or coleslaw.
• If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

Storage and Serving

• These sandwiches are best enjoyed immediately while the cauliflower is still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, store the cauliflower and avocado mayo separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• Reheat the cauliflower in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes before assembling the sandwiches again.
