Description
Delicious roasted cauliflower florets coated in a sticky honey-garlic sauce for a sweet and savory experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil on the prepared baking sheet. Spread them in a single layer.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and slightly browned.
- While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan and heat until it simmers and thickens slightly.
- Once the cauliflower is roasted, transfer it to a large bowl and pour the warm sauce over. Toss gently until evenly coated.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave. To reduce sodium, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
