Description
A flavorful side dish of roasted cauliflower coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for any gathering.
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.
- Prepare the sauce while the cauliflower roasts. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it simmers and thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the roasted cauliflower to a large bowl.
- Pour the warm honey garlic sauce over the roasted cauliflower.
- Toss gently until every piece is evenly coated and sticky.
- Serve immediately, garnished generously with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
Allow the cauliflower to caramelize well for the best flavor. Customize the sauce according to your taste.
