Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower

  • 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets

Sauce & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking and caramelizing the cauliflower perfectly.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, honey, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until fully combined to create the sweet and spicy coating.
  3. Coat Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the bowl and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
  4. Arrange & Bake: Spread the coated cauliflower florets evenly on a baking sheet to ensure they roast uniformly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the cauliflower is tender, caramelized, and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven, serve warm, and enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to modify the heat level according to your preference.
  • For an extra crunch and nutty flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds over the cauliflower before baking or at serving.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
