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 to keep things tidy during roasting.
- Toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil directly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to spread them in a single layer.
- Roast the cauliflower for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.
- Prepare the sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat, stirring constantly until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the roasted cauliflower and toss until evenly coated.
Notes
Serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. Pairs well with rice or quinoa.
