Description
A crowd-pleasing vegetarian dish with tender cauliflower tossed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
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. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pat them dry.
- Toss the cauliflower with olive oil on the baking sheet. Prepare the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat until it simmers and thickens, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the warm sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
For extra crispness, roast the cauliflower longer, but keep an eye to avoid burning. Make it gluten-free by swapping soy sauce for tamari.
