Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
  4. Spread the coated cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and golden brown, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, broil the cauliflower for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
  • Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for extra flavor and a nutty crunch.
