Ingredients
- 1 small head cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (or arrowroot or tapoioca starch)
- 1 small red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup diced pineapple
- 1 cup chopped green onion for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari or coconuut aminos)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or cane sugar or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot or tapioca starch)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place cauliflower florets in a large bowl. Add soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and avocado oil and toss until well combined.
- Add cornstarch to the bowl and toss again until each floret is evenly coated.
- Spread the cauliflower out onto the prepared baking sheet in an even single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through until cauliflower starts to brown around the edges. Turn oven to broil and broil for about 3 minutes until edges/top of cauliflower start to get crispy and brown.
- While cauliflower cooks, make the sauce by combining ketchup, soy sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a bowl. Whisk together until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the cornstarch to the water and stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Add the mixture to the sauce and stir again until combined.
- Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the peppers and pineapple and let cook for 2-3 minutes until just slightly softened.
- Add the prepared sauce, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer while stirring until sauce becomes thick, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add cauliflower florets to the skillet, toss well until fully coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
