Ingredients
1 large cauliflower head, cut into uniform florets
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sriracha
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash and thoroughly pat the cauliflower florets dry.
Toss the florets with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
Spread the florets in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roast for 20 minutes until edges are golden brown and tender.
Whisk sriracha, maple syrup, and soy sauce in a small saucepan.
Simmer the sauce over low heat for 3 minutes until thickened into a glaze.
Remove cauliflower from oven, toss with the glaze, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the cauliflower is completely dry before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness. Adjust the sriracha quantity if you prefer a milder or spicier flavor profile. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
