# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 large head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
02 -
3 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
04 -
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
05 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnish (Optional)
09 -
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
10 -
Fresh cilantro or green onions, finely sliced
# Directions:
01 -
Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting.
02 -
Wash and cut the cauliflower into uniform, bite-sized florets.
03 -
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine olive oil, maple syrup, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until homogenous.
04 -
Add the cauliflower florets to the marinade and toss until each floret is evenly enveloped in the mixture.
05 -
Distribute the marinated cauliflower in a single, even layer on a baking sheet to encourage uniform browning.
06 -
Transfer the sheet to the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, turning the florets halfway through roasting for consistent caramelization.
07 -
Pierce the cauliflower with a fork; it should be fork-tender and caramelized at the edges when ready.
08 -
Once roasted, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions as desired.
09 -
Transfer the cauliflower directly to a serving dish and enjoy while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For enhanced browning, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet so that moisture can evaporate during roasting.
