Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment pepper.
  2. Arrange the 1 Large Head Cauliflower florets in a single layer onto the prepared baking tray and spray with Cooking Oil Spray. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt, Salt and pepper, to taste, and using your hands, toss well to coat.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until it starts to brown on the edges. While cauliflower is cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients ( ¼ Cup Honey, 2 Garlic Cloves (minced), ¼ Cup Low sodium soy sauce or coconut amino, 1 tablespoon Sriracha, 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce, and 1 teaspoon Gluten-free flour or cornstarch ) into a small saucepan and whisk until well incorporated.
  4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently, until sauce thickens about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Once the cauliflower has finished baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce over and toss until fully coated. Top with 1 tablespoon Green Onions (sliced) and 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds and enjoy!

Notes

  • Soak the cauliflower in salted water to make sure all debris is removed. Rinse well.
  • Cut the florets into even sizes to ensure even cooking.
  • Use cornstarch if you can, it will make the sauce thicken well.
  • Sometimes it is hard to get that really crispy cauliflower in the oven. Feel free to air-fry them. Follow my air fryer instructions.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
