Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower
  • 1 head Cauliflower Fresh is best, but frozen can work if properly dried.
For the Glaze
  • 3 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey Choose maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce or Tamari Coconut aminos can serve as a soy-free alternative.
  • Optional Red Pepper Flakes Adjust based on your preferred spice level.
  • 1 tablespoon Optional Vinegar (e.g., Rice Vinegar) Experiment with different types for varied flavor.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.
Make the Glaze
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine maple syrup or honey with soy sauce or tamari. For a kick, mix in optional red pepper flakes and a splash of vinegar.
Combine
  1. Drizzle the glaze over the cauliflower florets and toss them to ensure even coating.
Roasting
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through. It's done when the cauliflower is tender and golden brown.
Serving
  1. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm as a side dish or a hearty appetizer.

Notes

Ensure cauliflower is thoroughly dried if using frozen to prevent sogginess. Monitor roasting time to avoid burning the glaze. Toss the cauliflower midway for even cooking.
