Sweet and Savory Glazed Baked Cauliflower
Yields: 4-6 servings
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30-40 minutes
Ingredients:
* For the Cauliflower:
* 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* For the Glaze:
* 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey or agave)
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
* 1 tablespoon sriracha (or hot sauce of your choice)
* 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated or minced
* For Garnish:
* Fresh parsley, chopped
* Sesame seeds (optional)
* Lemon wedges
Instructions:
* Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
* Prepare the Cauliflower:
* Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
* In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Make sure they are evenly coated.
* Roast the Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
* Prepare the Glaze: While the cauliflower is roasting, whisk together all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl: maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger.
* Toss with Glaze: Once the cauliflower is tender, remove it from the oven. Pour the glaze over the roasted cauliflower and toss until all the florets are evenly coated.
* Bake Again: Return the cauliflower to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and slightly thickened. Watch closely to prevent burning.
* Garnish and Serve: Remove the baked cauliflower from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley and sesame seeds (if using). Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
